Oh come one even on PS4 we all know Fifa will outsell the 720 version (if they play the same on both consoles). Sony has Europe right now and who plays football games the most? Europeans. |

and neglect themselves the sales of 7M copies? yeah. lol If in fact there is a deal, they will do it with a new IP, and it will be timed exclusive, so that they get more attention and media coverage. They will sell like crazy on the 720, then it will be released for the PS4, where it will sell good, and finally the sequel will arrive on both consoles and they will hype it like crazy. |
| ironmanDX said: For current gen consoles, you're right. Ps4 right now has sold 0, same as the xfinity. If Fifa exclusive made them buy a neXbox instead they wouldn't loose any software sales. Having said that, I doubt Fifa will ever be exclusive. |
| pezus said: Probably DLC timed exclusive, permanently exclusive or a new game. Certainly not one from their big franchises |
Don't you love when people doubt that something will ever happen, but it happened before?
| FIFA 07 Soccer | X360 | 2006 | Sports | Electronic Arts | 0.24 | 0.01 | 0.00 | 0.02 | 0.27 |
| FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup | X360 | 2005 | Sports | Electronic Arts | 0.11 | 0.01 | 0.01 | 0.01 | 0.13 |
After the great sales of Fifa 06 on 360 (which was next-gen exclusive for obvious reasons), as the wise and logical company with great business sense EA is, it took the right decision that Fifa 07 should be a 360 next-gen exclusive too. As a consequence of this, they achieved even greater sales than the last year (you can see that in the table above). Sales saw an incredible 100%+ increase because the game boasted a new graphics engine, HD, and a proper online, and it only required some bundling.
I'm not saying that it would happen again, of course, but having an open mind is usually a good idea.
