FTG writes- EA Sports is not without controversy, what with a large portion of the gaming community simply lobbing complaints of lacking innovation or creative drive. Those words cannot be said about the FIFA series, which is in a constant state of change year after year, and that’s just the main series. The FIFA games always try, and pull it off well at that. Plus, when it comes to soccer games, there is a surprising rivalry between the FIFA franchise and the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise. Unlike your Maddens and NHLs, neither company has locked up exclusivity deal, leaving the games to be better games then they would be under a monopoly. After all, competition brings the best out of people.
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games. Entire shelves filled with decade-old FIFA and PES games spread across a dozen formats. Often they end up in bargain bins, sitting alongside unwanted celebrity fitness DVDs and seemingly random TV show box sets. But here’s the thing. Not all football games gathering dust in the likes of Oxfam are in fact worthless."
Just who is buying FIFA 13 on Wii U? We may never know, but there are more people buying that than there are Bayonetta 2 and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
Sonic Boom is riding off the popularity of the TV show; it's a bad game.
And as for FIFA?
Well, guess that goes to show that there's a lot of older gamers on Wii U that wanted FIFA, then; sports games generally do out-sell action games, and Platinum isn't known for large sales in the first place.
I'm not worried for Bayonetta. It'll hit that 1M mark by the middle of next year, surely, at its current pace.
are seriously trying to downplay Bayonetta 2 with sales
