Forums - Sales - PAL Charts, Week 40: FIFA 09 takes over Europe

It should be interesting to see this year's battle between FIFA and PES, which releases in two weeks, last year's PES was a bit disappointing, we have to see if it hurts it now, but last year PES won in sales with some margin.
FIFA seems to be improving, but it still can't get it completely right, judging by the PC version, so I hope PES improves over last version and beats FIFA again this year




Around the Network

I think FIFA will sell more copies worldwide this year. PES and FIFA are very close in reviews this time.



Yep, this years FIFA and PES battle will be pretty damn big :D Either way it will be a win-win situation for both EA and Konami ;)



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

Im buying Pro Evo. The hell with Fifa. I played it, i enjoyed it, but its not the same



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

It will be interesting to see how much the 360 version outsells the PS3 version in UK this week. With 360 being available for as low as £99 we may see a lot of people upgrade from PS2 to 360 for FIFA.

I'm expecting PS3 version to top every other chart, except maybe Sweden, where 360 has a chance, and New Zealand, where as Kamil said, PS2 has a shot. I think Australia will be the same as Netherlands as 360 & PS3 are pretty close in both countries. FPS to sell more on 360, but Sports to sell more on PS3.

I think PES is going to win the battle. Reviews so far have been good, and though FIFA is improving, I still think PES is better.

Pretty pathetic to see both versions of NHL09 lose to three PC games in Sweden. Sweden is a disgrace compared to their superior neighbours, Finland.

Will be very close in UK. People who play sports games buy Playstations no matter what price difference.

Yes, PS3 version will murder the 360 version everywhere else. So much for 360 price drop getting casuals to buy, haha.
