Nuff said, really!
But it is the first week of release.
How do fifa games do over there?

 

[elliottume]

It's probably the first release for quite a few of them.

I don't think FIFA games sell very well at all over there.

i read that japaneese fans are loyal to the japaneese gaming industry hence the amount of market share held by konami and not fifa.

 

[Zygalski]

that plus fifa sucks.....

 

[jag87]

yeah basically. Its not fun at all. I dont know how FIFA can improve their games year after year. Unlike FIFA, Konami can vastly improve their PES and WE7 games yearly where as fifa can add a few more teams and update roster.Thats about it.

 

[elliottume]

and use a brand new system which everyone gets really excited about but turns out it was alwyas going to be crap anyway

(takes a deep breath)

Like 2002, the player runs indicator, and now, the off-the ball play. It's not going to work!

 

[fordfocus]

it's normal that the best footie game is on top of sales. in japan they like football a lot you saw what happened when real madrid went there

 

[jag87]

have you noticed that FIFA with thier kits and posh menus always score less then PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER? I just love it when that happens! Every Year.
