So it's pretty much safe to say that PS3 version of FIFA will launch with over million opening. Amazing.

almost 100% certain , 360 version should be near 1M aswell. With 410K in UK Alone.

Gaf : http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=409219

628% more than PES?! I lol'd

FIFA 11 is selling great, as expected.

so around 65k for PES then.
That is if the "source" is reliable ;)

Yes , Pes is dying badly...

Why is ppl surprised at UK 360>ps3 FIFA sales? with 360 having 2m more console there.

But same ppl weren't surprised that PS3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>360 FF13 sales despite the exclusive advertisment for XBOX and bigger userbase wonder why.......(*cough fanboys*)


Doesn't change the fact that Fifia 2011 was market heavily as PS3 exclusive.

Btw im sure PS move was closer to 20-25k first week in uk. 14 k just seems too much for me. So if we take the best case scenario:

1st week: 25k

2nd week: 22k

3rd week: 14k

Those are more likely numbers imo adding up to 61k in 3 week in uk alone

Actually they did pretty much equal numbers in UK so marketing worked considering userbase difference. 47% for PS3 and 50% for X360 version. Rest for Wii and PSP....

And if it wasn't, the difference between the two SKUs would likely have been much greater (as would have been the case for FF13 obviously). Not really sure what the point is?

Yeah but if you look at the sales % on each format it goes like this

FIFA 09:
360 - 42%
PS3 - 40%

FIFA 10:
360 - 48%
PS3 - 46%

FIFA 11:
360 - 50%
PS3 - 47%

So Sony paid loads of money to get the exclusive advertising and progressed by 1% yoy. The 360 version had no advertising and increased by 2%. So not really sure you can spin it as a success to Sony really when you only increase by 1%?

Actually it was the same case with every other FIFA, but this time the 360 version even slightly increased the gap.

Yes but to my understating it has been every year marketed heavily on PS3. That's the reason why sales are every year so close despite the userbase difference. Considering huge X360 S sales in UK lately it's not that surprising that X360 version increased the gap little. Especially as PS3 owners will probably again buy a lot more PES compared to X360 owners.
