The truth is Spain has a huge piracy rate, and the XBox360 is the console that suffers it the most. Wii is more a family friendly console, so parents buy games. PS3 is harder to unlock, and Sony has a huge fanbase due to the PS1 and PS2 domination. X360 is a hardcore console, it has the type of gamers that pirate the most. This is why X360 games sell much less than the PS3 counterpart in Spain, X360 has a lower userbase and in it's userbase the gamers are more piracy friendly.

Join the dots. PS2 still has a huge user base of casual gamers. X360 games only sell in low quantities. Football has a huge following, and PES is the football game in Spain. I've seen people only buy PES games every year, it's not that strange to see a PES PS2 game in the most sold games list here, and over the most sold X360 game.

Anyone who has any knowledge of the Spanish market could have expected it.

And if the current situation of the economy in spain is anything to go by PES might have sold 12 copies vs 9 copies of MW3.

25% unemployment rate for the first Q in 2012 will have an impact.

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

PES 12 on PS2 is arcade? Hell I tought every PES since PES6 were arcade. PES has been in decline ever since PES5, the good sim style gameplay wich Fifa copied over in their Fifa06 has been replaced.
