theres one series that's catergoricaly ignored, mostly buy the american guys (and i know that they sporadicly play football over there, but i mean it sales discussion wise)
and that's konami's pro evolution soccer
few people know that the last two editions, pro evo 5 and 6, each outsold any metal gear solid in europe and in japan
you can check the figures
fifa is also a very strong franchise
and pro evo 2008 is already on 3,3 million plus acros the ps3, ps2 and 360
and fifa 2008 is already on 3,6 plus across these platforms plus the psp
in total twese two football games will likely pass the 8 million copies!
but nobody talks about them actually.. :S
