FIFA 08 PS3 (8.500) 04. FIFA 08 360 (6.000) 05. Pokemon Diamante DS (5.250) 06. Pokemon Perla (DS) (3.750) 07. More Brain Training DS (3.400) 08. Heavenly Sword PS3 (2.950) 09. DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2 PS2 (2.500) 10. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes PSP (2.375) Fifa 08 (X360/PS3/PS2) debuted with 39k. Fifa 09 (X360/PS3/PS2) with 75.1k, which gives 90% growth. And with PSP version it goes up to 78.25k. |
Nice improvement for FIFA, but it's still well behind PES in Italy. I'm expecting 200k - 300k for PES first week. I just picked up PES 2009 today, even though FIFA may be better. There's no point in me buying FIFA when all my (real life) friends are playing PES. The fun for me in playing football games is playing against people you know. It loses a lot when playing against strangers, so I'm expecting PES to be just as massive as ever in mainland Europe this year, and PS3 seems to be the console of choice for this game now.
I previously estimated first week PES 09 numbers in Italy as split equally 100k between PS2 and PS3, I now think PS3 will do quite a bit better. My new estimate: PS3 - 120k, PS2 - 80k. As for the others: 360 - 60k, PSP - 20k.
