I still don't know why they haven't done a Switch FIFA Bundle, at least in Europe. Sure, the hardware supply is low, but even a limited run would have sparked a lot of interest.

Probably because Sony have exclusive bundle rights?

Does that prevent instore bundles also? Like bundles that stores dream up to get rid of excess games.

I'm pretty sure nobody cares about the Story mode in Fifa, so I don't think it's a big con. It's easier to say Skyrim because there isn't a sports games fanbase on the Switch yet, though that should change in these coming weeks.

I'll say Skyrim, but both should sell near or above 1 million units. Let's say 1 mil Fifa, 1.3 mil Skyrim, by 2018.

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Skyrim is an old game, so I think FIFA might edge it out.

FIFA.

Although, if Bethesda cuts the price numerous times I could see it giving FIFA a run for it's money.

I see more people betting for Fifa than I've initially expexted, considering the earlier FIFAs on any system are the ones who usually sell the least.

Hmm, more people are going with FIFA. However, I view Skyrim as something that can sell consistently for a longer period of time, so I'll go with that. Or maybe it's just because Skyrim is something that interests me more
