The Wii version alone dropped 86%. Analyst Doug Creutz of Cowan & Company called the dropoff in Wii sales "particularly catastrophic" in a note to investors, adding: "Although this is probably due in part to the fact that last year's version shipped bundled with Nintendo's new MotionPlus controller, we are concerned that Woods' scandal woes may have permanently damaged the sales potential of what we believe to be EA's third most important sports franchise, behind Madden and FIFA." Earlier this year EA Sports president Peter Moore dismissed any mention of Tiger's scandal hurting sales, but that was before the release of the new title which has certainly shown a decrease.

I believe that some versions now have Rory McIlroy on the cover, too. The King is dead - long live the King :-)

There are also new modes which give better reality when using Motion Plus, togehter with the first person view. Not having a WiiMote which feels and grips like a real club presents problems if you have full reality switched on. If the grip is wrong then the whole swing gets out of shape. The graphics are a whole lot better but still miles off a PS3. Roll on the Wii 2. At this time the Wii format is getting tired and it is same ol, same old....
