Its advertised almost as a sony exclusive in the UK... with one hell of a huge ad campaign that has been running for a month or so already.

Unsurprising sales for a game in a country where the sport in question is watched live (actually turning up to watch the game in person) by more people on a weekly basis than anywhere else in the world..... by some considerable margin

aren't the germans nr. 1 watching football games live? germanys football federation is the biggest sports federation of the world (for one sport) and the first league has more visitors than any other footbal league.

ahh found it:
