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.

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....


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%?

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.

Playstation Brand has allways been huge for Football so this is indeed surprising... 360 sells much more shooters and Action RPG´s or Action Games Ps3 tends to sell more God of War like Games and Sports.

Huge FIFA sales as expected, but the question is: Will PS3 outsell the 360 this week in EMEAA?

Tomorrow or Wednesday we should know.

It is every year, and the marketing has obviously worked, as the marketshare between 360 and ps3 is close. Were you expecting the PS3 version and 360 version to outsell it or something??

360 dominating the chart but thats usual in the U.K. Fifa 11 goes HUGEEEEEEEEEEEE! Above 500K in U.K alone in both formats.

Anyway i dont think this will boost any console that much... Black Ops other wise is gonna SkyRock 360 sales.


FIFA 11 has the chance to sell over 1 million copies in OTHERS alone on the PS3, and that should be enough to push the console above the 360 in others due to the FIFA ps3 marketing campaign with EA.

As for "Black Ops other wise is gonna SkyRock 360 sales." why wouldn't it push ps3 sales too? Do you keep forgetting that COD BLACK OPS is on the ps3 as well as the 360?

Fifa 11 Sold 410K on 360 alone in the U.K.

Around 380K on Ps3.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2010/oct/04/video-games-chart-top10

Sports Champions best case :

Sports Champions
Week 37 = 14,000
Week 38 = 12,300 (-12%)
Week 39 = 8,000 (-35%)

F1 stills leading on 360 by close margin , Dead Rising 2 by huge margin.

Reach sold 43K or something like that.

Fifa 11 almost outsold Reach on 360 Alone ... Big WOOOW. Anyway 2nd Biggest launch in UK only behind Mw2 and Soon Black Ops... Because Black Ops is gonna do 1M> alone on 360 like Mw2.

Wow, sports champions' numbers are extremely weak , considdering it's the only move game worth buying .Talk about a soft launch.

Weak??? Are you kidding???

With this numbers SC should sell over 50k the third week in a row on Europe (near 200k LTD).

It's better than anyone expected.

With 8k in the U.K there's no way it will sell 50k in Europe (over 6x the U.K number) . The only official number i see is 34k in 3 weeks in the U.K which could be translated to roughly 40-45k move packs sold in 3 weeks there . That's borderline sad. It's nice to have an offcial number on something move-related so we can talk withoutt BS speculation about its performance. NPD is next !!

With 12k in UK it sold 70,992 in EMEAA.

Make maths now.

No, i just don't buy VGchartz numbers on this one, it's obvious that they've massively overtracked move and SC numbers and it will further be proven when the September NPD comes (in the case of U.S sales numbers of course) .

Why???

For me the Move and SC sales from VGC are undertracked... so why do you think they are over?

that's right,i forgot i've seen the ad a fair bit

good money spent i think seeing as its the third most popular game launch from what people say

So isnt Fifa aswell ?? Black Ops will have hugeee ads for the 360.

Go back on time and see Mw2 Week and the sales of 360 that surprassed Ps3 that week.
