Hah!, I won't pay EA $40 for a mere roster update... especially the PC version and it's crappy PS2 engine.
Thing is every "sports simulation" game EA has released for the wii has been made easy to incorporate family play but that just translates as shallow, look at them so far - the only sports game they haven't incorporated this mode in is Tiger Woods Golf 08 and I think out of the EA wii sports games this is selling the best.
Out of all of the EA 2nd batch of games the only game with a dumbed down mode that I think will sell well is MOh and this cos of the 32 player online and the way they've suppesodly nailed the controls.
Take a hint EA - Wii owners aren't idiots and there's a reason Resi Evil 4 sold so well, cos it was just a different spin on the same hardcore game.
Those people that think they're perfect give a bad reputation to us who are...
"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." - Phil Harrison, Sony
PES is Europes Madden ... still , look at Spain : PS2 / PS3 / PSP ... nice :D
Vote the Mayor for Mayor!
In Sweden:
1. PS2 (2nd place overall)
2. 360 (4h)
3. PS3 (5th)
4. PC (14th)
Other version out of top 20.
New Zeland:
1. PS2 (on 6th, the only title that made to top 10)
| kamil said: In UK (Fifa sold about 385,000 units) it looked like this: PS2 - 44% Xbox 360 - 26% PS3 - 20% others (PSP, Wii, PC and DS) - 10% PS3 versions sold well compared to Xbox (much better than Madden). PS3 lost in Uk by not much, won in Germany hardly (5th to 6th place in Germany chart), won easily in Spain (3rd to 10th place in Spain chart) and also won in Austalia. That shows that there is a place for 3rd party games on PS3. At least in Europe. But possibly if Halo 3 wasn't released on the same week, Xbox Fifa would do a bit bitter. |
Playstation is THE platform for football games. Obviously the PS2 is leading the way in the UK with 44% of the 385k units sold which means that about 170k copies were sold to over 9m PS2 owners. The 360 did okay selling around 100k copies to around 1.4m owners while the PS3 sold 77k copies to around 385k PS3 owners in the UK; thats an attach ratio of 1 copy of the game for every 5 PS3 owner. Really big news IMHO.
This is big news and demonstrates that generally Playstation owners will buy football games rather than any other format. When PES 2008 is released at the end of this month, this will be bigger news seeing as PES is inherently linked with the Playstation brand, hence the PS2 and PS3 bundles that are being released at the end of the month.
The lower priced PES branded PS3 (£299) along with the game should sell really well.
Prediction (June 12th 2017)
Permanent pricedrop for both PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro in October.
PS4 Slim $249 (October 2017)
PS4 Pro $349 (October 2017)

For new zealand, it's not fifa 08, but fifa 07 platinum. So, no fifa 08 in the top 10. Maybe not available in new zealand for the moment.

It has not been made easy, there is only an option to play it easy, but you can also play it the same way as on the other consoles.
EA have claimed that FIFA 08 has sold over a million copies across the PAL regions in it's first week. Ni news on what individual formats did. PS2>>>PS3>360 seems the most likely based on the charts.
http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=84960"EA said FIFA 08 has shifted more than one million copies across Europe in its first week on sale, pushing it to the top of German and Spanish charts yesterday."
Wow , the PS3 actually beats the X360 overall :o Now thats some real region support :D

it has been seen as being made easier where that development time could have been spent on other areas - it seems to me that Third Party developers seem to squeeze wiimote controls in at any cost, ask yourself seriously - which would have benefitted sales better for Fifa - a family play mode or gamecube / classic controller support?
I know which would have resulted myself in buying it - before they fit these modes imo they should ask "is it feasible"
