Xbox has took away alot of its pie and will only gets worse for Sony next gen since MS will go more and more for that audience.

It would appear that the market for FIFA games is simply growing - and rather than Microsoft 'taking away' lots of Playstation's pie, it's actually losing ground on Playstation purchases.  
I suspect a lot of this has to do with people finally making the switch from PS2 -> PS3 since there's still a huge amount of FIFA sales on the PS2.  Also, Europe.
