WC - FIFA 13 was released on September 25th to record breaking sales and critical acclaim. It received huge scores from gaming websites the world over and is yet again in many peoples eyes, the best football game this year, just about pipping rival PES 2013 to keep its throne. But now that people have had time to play EA’s latest juggernaut for a few weeks, reviews are mixed. Some fans claim it is the best FIFA to date while others say it is too similar to its predecessor with a terrible defensive system, unrealistic speed and lack of player individuality still remaining. These are major areas that can’t be fixed with a patch or update so instead of wondering what FIFA 14 should be like, EA could focus on DLC.
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games.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
