sorry for repeating but if pes did launch in germany etc surely it would have charted? unless it really has flopped

good sales for F12010 and DR2 and go K&l2,lol

do people really expect sport champions to sell like it is on the wii? why isn't fifa 11 seliing on the wii like it is on the HD systems,the PS2 beat it

answers on a postcard

Back when FIFA 08 was around, Wii versions sold on the same order of magnitude as the PS3 and 360 versions. Then the next year came "All-Play", and Wii owners have expected FIFA to be shit on Wii since.

That isn't true at all though.  Especially when it comes to first week in Europe.

All-play did a bit better than 08 to start, but apparently had slightly worse legs.  10 did marginally better than All-Play, and finished between 08 and 09 as far as LTD.


Lifetime sales. Wii: 1.00 mill, X360: 1.46 mill PS3: 1.69 mill

Eh, nearly 50% and 70% more aren't really on the same order of magnitude.  I mean they would be if you are using a million as an order of magnitude, but that's just silly.  Plus we're talking about First week sales in Europe.  Even if we were talking lifetime, the PS3 version nearly doubled the Wii Fifa 08 in Europe.

Order of Magnitude: "a number assigned to the ratio of two quantities; two quantities are of the same order of magnitude if one is less than 10 times as large as the other; the number of magnitudes that the quantities differ is specified to within a power of 10"


I was the one who made the comment, I was talking about lifetime.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
