Over three million units of PES6 shipped across Europe

[Karaoke29]

Konami has announced that more than three million units of Pro Evolution Soccer 6 have already shipped across Europe.

PES6 went on sale on October 27 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 2 and PC, and Konami is celebrating a phenomenal launch across Europe. More than three million units were shipped across Europe to meet the demand.

High sales made the game the No.1 title in a number of European territories, including the UK, Konami noting that the title has "enjoyed a significant sell-through increase over last year's game."

"We are delighted that, once again, Pro Evolution Soccer continues to be so well accepted," commented Kunio Neo, President of Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. "In an industry known for its constant changes, Pro Evolution Soccer is one of the few brands to increase sales year on year".

Pro Evolution Soccer 6 will also be released for PSP in December, with a Nintendo DS version set to ship in January.

Despite lacking the huge improvements in most of the game aspects, over three million units shipped only in Europe. I think Konami have to keep improving every part of the game starting from the next season to meet Pes fans demands. I don't mean licenses here, I do mean graphics, commentary, sound trax, master league and of course the gameplay which is for sure the field that Konami have succeed in.

what on earth do they spend all their cash on? improve the interface, buy more licenses.

By the way, PES6 is the best soccer game ever. No complaints here. Especially the mulitplayer online is so addicating and fun!

I dunno if thats good or bad.....

As an older gamer i've been playing since the ISS days and enjoyed the changes in the game over the years with both PES and the WE series.
I went online for the first time last year (pes5) and was looking forward to getting online with PES6 since it was flawed with lag and a poor interface in PES5. Online was'ent TOO BAD the day after the release, but now its got worse and its driving me nuts, Its so slow between pages and the lags getting worse all the time taking the fun out of the onine expierence for me and i feel that Konami have really taken a half arsed approach to this aspect of the game and its not the only thing as i think that various important editing points are missing, eg, editing commentry names, 6*, german teams, ect.. I've played quite a few PS2 games online with no problems, its a shame i can't play my favorite game, I feel like backing up my game and selling the original on ebay and going back to playing my master league which is another thing which has been badly neglected and has been in need of an massive update in recent versions. Why does Konami have to show such complacency to a game that has such a cult and loyal following.
I'm not complaining about the gameplay itself as its the best footie you will play but why have the other aspects been ignored when they should compliment the excellent gameplay and i feel people are ignoring this point out of loyalty to the brand.
Thats why why i'm not sure if this is good news or not because since the game has sold so well they might not get there finger out..
Anyway, its a shame Konami have to shoot themselves in the foot like this and all i can hope for is a massive overhaul of the master league, online, interface and other aspects of the game when the next gen PES is released, thanks for yout patience.

You may be infuriated due to the bad online, but we hope it'll get better especially after this official apology. Check it here http://www.pesgaming.com/showthread.php?t=44246[/b][/i].

As Pes fans, our least right is to criticise Konami. We need a better game in every aspect and not only the gameplay.

We all have the same hope....
