Fick I would normally agree with you but delaying by two weeks to sidestep FIFA is going to put PES 2012 in the UK in direct competition with Battlefield 3 and MW3, that's not a battle PES can win.
How about PES releasing a week or two EARLIER than FIFA?
Thinking about it, people would want their football fix ASAP and some FIFA fans may even pick this up to try it, with the initial thoughts of trading it back in when FIFA comes out, and then actually liking it and going "you know what I'll keep this!"
Sales would be through the roof.
The commercial reasons that have been highlighted are more than satisfactory to explain Konami's reasoning.
If both games are released simultaneously then given the current climate one title will have an initial shit release week, with gamers picking up the other title a few weeks later after a doubtless initial price drop.
Konami cannot hope to compete with FIFA's draw, especially after last year's improvements and that of the FIFA licensing. I'm not saying it's right, just that, that is the way it is.
With that in mind, releasing a couple of weeks later gives a greater scope for more week 1 sales (at full price, remember), maybe even at the expense of FIFA trade-ins...
What people seem to forget is that Konami don't make PES just for fans, their primary concern is financial success. If their release strategy is wrong and sales don't generate a required revenue, then PES may not be around next year.
Release date in Holland is also 14th October.
Does anyone know the release dates in other countries besides the ones mentioned in the other thread? (France, Germany, Spain, etc) Just wondering if Scandinavian/Eastern European countries also have to wait 2 weeks.

Hello, PES fans
Actually, this long waiting for the final product release is bothering me,
i dont worry that much about some negative comments about pes 2012
demo, because it is still demo, i will see if pes 2012 is great or poor when i have the final product at hand, but one thing is for sure, i will
definatelly check out different reviews and pes fans assessment for the
game before i spend 60 dollars. I will give FIFA 12 a go to keep me occupied before i get pes 2012, hopefully PES 2012 is better than FIFA 12, anyway i will play both FIFA 12 and PES 2012, although only one
of them will remain in my ps3.
please, KONAMI in pes 2012, get rid of excessive through ball passes,
cursor switching bug, player's foul replays and messed up transfers in MasterLeague(Messi going to R.Madrid). For me, sorting these things out is more important than any "improvements" implemented by KONAMI
Maybe erasing all the old problems and bugs is the biggest improvement
in my opinion.
I ll try to be patient and wait untill the long waiting is over.
