Interesting thing in Germany chart is that PS2 version outsold X360 (in UK X360 won by almost 4:1).

Wii version out of top 10 and below PSP just like in UK.



FIFA 09=football Madden 09=football
Do you see where this is going?



I wonder which one will sell more this year. FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer.



Denmark added in second post. Fifa on first place as expected, big drop for WiiFit.

Massive first week for FIFA 09 at 479k, which smashes last year's FIFA record of 349k. Both 360 & PS3 first week sales were higher than any individual format's first week FIFA sales ever, but fall short of the best opening week for a football title held by the PS2 version of PES 5 with around 230k. I'm really surprised at how much it sold on PS3, very impressive. It seems that most FIFA fans have now transitioned over to PS360. Similar to Madden in the US, Wii hasn't captured this segment of the market. With the PS3 version taking #1 spot in Sweden it has a chance for a clean sweep outside of UK.

Maybe EA should remove all-play in next years versions.
