Playstation brand is allways associate to Football game... not as much as before anymore but still...

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.

Fifa is awesome and i will buy it for Ps3 or 360.

Based on? The difference between the two versions has actually been growing with each iteration this gen. Expect the difference to be even bigger with this game. In my experience, a big part of the FIFA audience thinks 'Playstation' when they think FIFA. I don't expect that to change with the next generation, since those people will stick with what they know

Just like People would buy GTA IV on Ps3 because brand right ?

Yeah, almost 10m sales on 360.

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.

I don't see how Fifa and GTA IV are related.

People didnt see in 2006 how GTA and Xbox were related aswell...

Talk to me in 3/4 years.

Peace.

Huh. No, you said "MS will go more after that audience". What even hints at that? We all saw them going after the shooter audience coming, since that is what they've been doing from the start. The opposite to what you think will happen is happening, and I only asked for a reason why you said that. It appears there is none I guess.

So, Peace.

im talking next gen... Microsoft cant do nothing now... Fifa will sell better on Ps3 just like Cod will sell better on 360.

And i think MS wants to go and get that BIG pie Playstation has with Football Fans.

Next Gen it may change, Cod might sell better on Ps4 or any other shooter and Fifa or any other Football game can sell better on 360.

I think a tie ratio under consideration of only European sales would be more appropriate to come to a conclusion.
