Good for them. Good for everybody.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Ah yes. One of those wonderful "tests" again.

that's actually fairly promising as the odds are Fifa Switch does extremely well. This would be the first big Fifa game on a handheld, essentially, that looks almost on par to the home console versions.

It'll probably sell like crazy in Europe

the real question is if EA keeps their word. As FIFA 18 is obviously going to push a lot of units over the Fall. Like someone else mentioned, hopefully they don't pull a Capcom and do test after test despite sales of their initial games going well beyond expectations 

Why do you think it will sell like crazy in europe? and what does "like crazy" mean in numbers? The way I see it, most football fans play on ps4 anyways and won't get an inferior version, with less content and likely worse online for portability.

Nintendo gamers would buy more EA games if they actually put some effort into them.



Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

Yeah, EA won't be supporting the Switch.

When the game releases the NS userbase in Europe is approx. 1.5m.
That means it can't even sell like crazy. 1m WW this year is possible however. (again, possible. Doesn't mean likely or unlikely.)

FIFA 17 PS4 did 10m last year
FIFA 17 X1 did 3.6m last year

Well we will see how much cares about this "Portability"

wait are you seriously saying you don't think FIFA Switch is going to sell a lot? especially in Europe? you are aware that there has never really been a handheld FIFA similar to home console level before right?

And if anything in Europe the population is pretty mobile (bike riding, walking). I would not be surprised if when all is said and done Fifa Switch does like 1 million sales in Europe (lifetime), as the install base grows for the Switch FIFA is going to be a popular buy

I think FIFA on Switch will be huge among the bike riding demographic. Expect lethal accidents and a continental ban on FIFA to happen.

In all seriousness, I expect FIFA to be a modest succes on Switch. The fanbase is mostly on Playstation, and I can't see many people buying two versions of the same game so its sales potential is limited.

Beacuse portabilite of Switch and local multiplayer "on the go", I think Fifa will sell well enuf and that EA will port some other games, games like Madden, NHL, Unravel, SimCity, Plants vs. Zombies and Need For Speed would be good fit for start after Fifa.

just like any other 3rd party said.

NS users are gamers, not only Nintendo fanbase.
NS don't have lot of games, and no one football gamers.

If you have fifa 2016 on ps4, is it more interest to have switch version or ps4 version ? Portability version or updated version ?

And the Trues fans Will buy 2 versions, for playing with Best graphic (xbox, ps4, or pc) but if they want play on go, switch version is the only possibility, than that could help switch sells.

For me, EA Will be very happy results of this version.
