Still so heavily unbalanced in PS360's favor, despite the fact that Wii is otherwise doing quite well in Britain.

Madden of Europa indeed. With all the same sell-through features.

No suprise there really. The game is designed around the ps/360 controllers. The wii versions of fifa are always awful two-bit afterthoughts. Fifa isn't the best looking game on the 360 or ps3 but it looks a fuck load worse on Wii.

Bad visuals + dumb downed Fifa = poor sales for Wii.

Basically, the only reason for buying FIFA for the Wii is if you only have the Wii.

Not surprising, Europe is a completely different market than America. They don't need to inject testosterone into their veins every 20 seconds via playing Halo/Gears.

We, however, do. WARGARBL WHERE'S GEARS OF WAR 3!?

But these are the UK sales numbers, not all of Europe. UK's market is arguably pretty similar to the US, actually.

Nice one troll. I hope you also believe Uncharted 2 fits into that genre aswell. Otherwise you're just a hypocrite (I'm leaning towards the latter for you).

Kinda surprising that Sigma 2 isn't higher up on the list. Or perhaps it's because it was released just before list was released?

I just beat Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box this weekend. So damned good!

I also beat ODST this weekend. Spoiler alert: While the game is great, the ending is more like a 'meh'nding.

Also, Brits love football.

Obviously a popular game, but the increase in sales from last year could be put down to some supermarket chains selling the game for £25 for the first weekend / week.

Only reason it sold so well is because Tesco and Asda were selling it at £25 over the weekend

Not really. Supermarkets barely get any stock and sell out very fast, they just sell it that price (and at a loss, I might add) to get people into the stores. Dedicated game retailers have been selling barely anything but Fifa for the whole weekend, so I'd assume most of the sales are from those.

Wow! PS3 sales pretty much = XB360 sales?! Wow! First Batman, now this. Do you think PS3 can overtake X in the long run?

Probably, mainly because the 360 will have been discontinued long before the PS3. I don't see Microsoft implementing a 10 year life cycle for it.

More like, after christmas.

Slim is da new hotness, the momentum behind the PS3 (seemingly *still* building as word of mouth spreads) now must be scaring the living shit outta Microsoft.

Wah I don't wanna wait another two weeks!

They have to rub it in my face by advertising during every premier league game as well. I did enjoy the quote they put up on the ad boards though. "FIFA 10... The beautiful game" - The Sun

Most generic quote ever! I like to imagine the original quote as "FIFA 10 takes a big shit on the beautiful game"

So is FIFA officially better than Pro Evo now? Not sales-wise quality-wise.

Yes it's the better game by far quality wise and it shows even more than it did 5 years ago in terms of sales vs the competitor they know have an extra 33% market share in Europe than they did only 3 years ago.

I'd say the PS2/Wii versions of Pro Evo stil trump HD Fifa. But if we were to compare the 360 versions of Fifa 10 and the latest Pro Evo, then Fifa wins by a country mile.

But EA still have a long way to go to match Pro Evolution Four - the one with Henry and Totti on the front cover.

Its been undeniably better since FIFA 08 and arguably better since FIFA 07. Where have you been? Its always been then best game on todays consoles.

They havent made a PES with a built from scratch engine made for current consoles, they are still dragging along with most of the PS2 engine. Its painful watching the videos for PES 2010, the gameplay is identical to the old PS2 games with almost no physics anywhere.

Konami needs to take a 2 year break and focus on making a new game engine, they are killing the series with this PS2 crap.

My boss has played both (Pro Evo at a managers conference) and he said that "Fifa pisses all over Pro Evo this year", and he's usually a Pro Evo fan.

I'd imagine this is due to how surprisingly good last year's FIFA was compared to Pro Evo 2009.
