FIFA huh? It very looks like some hostile takeover bid. Is this MS's new plan to conquer Europe?

 

Exclusivity-deals seem to be important to both Sony and MS but remember that Sony wanted to show a ps4-ad next saturday at Champions-League-final... If Fifa would be exclusive, this wouldn't be the best place for Sony...


Fifa sells a few millions more on the PS3/Sony Platform compared to others...EVERY Year
EA won't miss out on that
Sony is owning Europe and it will stay like that.

What Microsoft is getting is surely some Deal for the Ultimate Team or some Season Pass.
And no one cares for that except for people that make money with Fifa over ebay and other sites.

 

The first part seems reasonable, of course, and no one can deny it. But the second part reads as you would have a palantir which I doubt so let's just wait until tomorrow - time for downplay will still be enough for sure.

Makes me wonder how the folks at EA thinks when they announce anew generation game on the console which sold the least.

In other words, exactly the same game as before...



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

because it didn't at the markets where EA-games are bought. Easy, isn't it?

Well i guess its free puplicity for EA and Fifa with mabye some exclusive DLC or timed exclusive DLC rather than Fifa be exclsuive ( it sell too much on ps systems) plus my retailer has it on ps4 listet and for 95% of the time my retailer has right.

Well, the ps3 and 360 are pretty close in sales this gen, not sure who is winning now. They are showing FIFA on a next gen system so it'll either be the ps4/infinity.

But it shows that PS has sold millions more of FIFA than 360!

I doubt that MS is paying for the exclusivity of a FIFA game, the amount of money MS has to pay will be disgustingly huge. But if that's indeed the case then Sony will lost a lot in Europe and Latin America.

Well they could have announced it at the Sony show... but safe bet MS threw some money at them.

MS wants big games unveiled at their show. Sony settled for what they could get. Like those tech demos that rarely turn into an actual game.

Seeing the generational jump for both CoD and FIFA will be interesting. Like I said in the other thread, I hope they didn't get some exclusivity deal on FIFA

I actually think they will.   M$ has lost this gen because of europe and Japan, so if they get better in Europe they might get better.

MS is a big winner this gen, they haven't lost anything

rrod= haven't lost anything.

strange kind of logik.


they still made the most money this gen though.

well.i'm not a math genius but.

nintendo have sold the most hardware-by far

they have sold ca 100 mio more discs with the wii than 360

they neither pay much for developing their top sellers(i guess they develop one zelda,2 marios and 1ssbm for the price of one halo,nor are they so stupid to pay 50-100mio for merchandising one single game)

they were the only to sell their console with profit

they have sold periphericals (balance board) with profit and without a 500million marketing campaign(kinect)

Nintendos 1st partys sold far more games than ms 1st parties

nintendo had no rrod and no 1year+ warranty

 

and ms still made more money????

Nintendo has massivley bundeld most of its games and given it away for free therefore not having actaully made large amounts of profits on those games as the sales of VGC show.
