Forums - Nintendo - FIFA 18 on Switch accounted for 1% of all UK physical copies sold

Shit! No more EA support. Whos next? Atari? Dark days..........

We just need to know how many copies of FIFA Switch EA brought to retailers. It's obvious that their expectations were a lot more cautious with Switch owners. I still think that it's impossible that FIFA Switch will sell closer to PS4/One, by a lot. But it'll probably will do well to make a profit out of it. 

It'd be pretty unrealistic to think that FIFA Switch has any posibilities to outsold any version of it. Again, what matters is profitability, development costs and the company's expectations.



Because it's under supplied as hell. Game UK - out of stock, Amazon UK - In stock on October 9, 2017. During the weekend I couldn't find it anywhere locally. I think now Argos and Tesco got some copies.

Intresting, Base.com is also out of stock.

I think most people expected a higher share than this.


What would be a higher share for you? 

Anything more than 1%?



I think the percentage in other european markets should be far better, UK always has a greater PS4 lead

I have literally never heard of that website before. Not sure if many people in the UK use it.

Anyways I went on Amazon to get Fifa 18 on Switch a few days ago it was out of stock. Looking at it now it says they won't be in stock until October 9th and it says;

"Note: Please note, due to stock limitations from the supplier we are unable to deliver any further orders of FIFA 18 - Nintendo Switch for release date. We expect to deliver orders placed today by October 13th, and will confirm an exact release date as soon as possible. If you've already placed an order for this product please check “My Orders” to confirm your expected delivery date."

So clearly there is something going on with stock.



Unfortunate. Wonder what the numbers are elsewhere.
