FIFA 09 Breaks Through 2 Million UK Sales News

EA's legendary football series enjoys its fastest selling iteration to date, with 2 million UK sales so far...

FIFA vs. PES

On top of beating out Call of Duty: World at War for the Christmas No.1 spot and returning to the top of the UK charts for the first week of 2009, EA's FIFA 09 has sold over 2 million units so far in the UK alone, making it the fastest selling FIFA game in the series' history.

"The studio created a game that appeals to everyone. We've listened to our consumers and delivered the game they wanted with rich gameplay and innovation," EA's Marketing Manager in the UK, Dan Holman, told MCV before adding: "We have now sold in excess of 2 million in the UK making it the fastest selling FIFA title to date."

"We're confident this will be the best-selling FIFA game to date but we still have some way to go," he continued. "We are continuing to work with several Premier and Football League teams so we'll look to create initiatives around key matches."

FIFA bettered PES across the board this season, not only in terms of chart performance and sales, but also in terms of critical acclaim. PES 2009's Metacritic score averaged out at 75 on the next-gen consoles, while FIFA 09 scored an impressive 87 (compared to FIFA 08's score of 82). To find out why we switched our allegiance to FIFA this year, check out our review here.

	By: SegaBoy Added:Wed 17th Dec 2008 12:05, Post No: 118 I'm not entirely sure whether "minimum" and "ideal" go hand in hand, but you're looking at least 1GB to get something approaching decent play.
