SEGA Hails Football Manager 2007 Success News

SEGA Europe and Sports Interactive has today announced that Football Manager 2007 has become the third fastest-selling PC title ever, following its release on PC/Mac on October 20th. News of Sports Interactive's latest success comes just a day after Football Manager 2007 debuted in the top spot of the Official UK All-Format Full Price Chart.

Incidentally, the two titles ahead of it were both produced by Sports Interactive, Football Manager 2006, and one of the previous Championship Managers (from back in the day)...meaning that whilst it's sold over 91,000 copies to date, it hasn't surpassed two of its predecessors.

"Football Manager 2007 is undoubtedly the best version of Football Manager we've ever made. By working extremely hard on making it both as user-friendly as possible and adding a plethora of new features to please the long term fans we've produced a game that's suitable for everyone," said Miles Jacobson, Managing Director, Sports Interactive. "The team at Sports Interactive are thrilled with the game's reception and with the pace it's sold over the first weekend and we're delighted to have the massive support from the Marketing, PR and Sales teams at SEGA...A huge thank you must also go to the community we have for Football Manager who are a constant source of ideas, encouragement and support throughout the development process."

Continued success with the title is surely anticipated in the coming weeks in the run up to Christmas, and then of course there's the Xbox 360 and PSP versions, which will both be released on November 24th.
