RETAIL BIZ: Out This Week

Highly anticipated FIFA 10 kicks off this week’s new releases

The first week of October boasts a strong line-up of new titles, with games for everyone from footy fans to RPG enthusiasts.

By far the biggest release of the week will be Electronic Arts’ FIFA 10, the latest entry in the multi-million selling football franchise. Boasting killer new features such as the Virtual Pro and My Live Season modes, this is sure to appease fans of the sport.

Other notable releases this week include Gran Turismo (Sony), Disney Pixar’s Up (THQ), and Risen (Deep Silver).

Chart-Track's news (on the All-Format chart) :

FIFA 10 Scores BIG

05/Oct/2009

‘FIFA 10’ scores the biggest All Formats No1 launch since GTA: IV, generating 48% more sales than its predecessor ‘FIFA 09’ managed when it was launched exactly a year ago.

It goes without saying that it is the biggest ever launch of a FIFA game, becoming the 2nd biggest all formats launch ever in the UK behind GTA IV, edging past GTA: San Andreas (which admittedly was launched only on PS2, while ‘FIFA 10’ is on XB360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii and PC). As with last year’s FIFA, Xbox 360’s share is 2 percentage points more than PS3 as Microsoft’s format generates 48% of sales, PS3 46% with 6% on the remaining formats). ‘FIFA 09’ sold 42% on Xbox 360 and 40% on PS3 in its launch week, with the remaining formats securing a much larger 18% share. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are now respectively the 5th and 6th fastest selling single format releases.

Nintendo’s ‘Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box’ holds on to 2nd place as sales of last week’s No1 ‘Halo 3: ODST’ slip 75% to No3, only 300 sales behind. ‘Need for Speed: Shift’ moves down one place to No4 ahead of ‘Wii Sports Resort’ which enjoys a 33% jump in sales thanks in part to the new £179.99 Wii Sports Resort hardware bundle. ‘Guitar Hero 5’ remains a Top 10 contender, dropping down 2 places to No6, while EA’s ‘MySims Agents’ sneaks into the Top 10 in its second week of launch, up from No16 to No7. ‘Gran Turismo’ on PSP’s UMD format is off the mark at No12. Coinciding with the launch of Sony’s new media-less PSPGo console, the Playstation Network download version of ‘Gran Turismo’ was offered free to early adopters. There are new entries for Tecmo Koei’s ‘Ninja Gaiden: Sigma 2’ on PS3 at No26 and Deep Silver’s Oblivion-style RPG ‘Risen’ at No29.

Big numbers for FIFA 10. It's like Madden for the Euro folks.



Currently playing on PS3: God of War III

Currently playing on Xbox360: Final Fantasy XIII

Currently playing on NDS: Chrono Trigger

I wonder how much more PS3 FIFA 10 will sell than 360 FIFA 10.

I totally expect a hardware boost for PS3, and 360, thanks to FIFA 10 , maybe 115-125K for PS3, and 80-95K for 360

The PS2 version also appears to beat the Wii version, just like Madden in the US one month ago.

The question is...

Why?



                            

RPG on 04 October 2009

I think it's safe to say the PS3 version of FIFA 10 will outsell the 360 version and that too by a large amount. Those Gran Turismo numbers are going to be terrible to say the least.........for a Gran Turismo game.
