FIFA 12’s first week sales in the UK outsold those of Konami’s PES 2012 by a ratio of 25 to 1, EA vice-president of Europe, Keith Ramsdale, has told IncGamers.
FIFA 12 shot to the top of the UK chart, breaking records for the series, while PES 2012’s debut a few weeks later could only manage to chart at No.5.
“Fifa [12] went out only a couple of weekends ago. We had record pre-orders and record sell-throughs,” said Ramsdale. “And when you look at Pro Evolution Soccer versus Fifa… only five years ago in the UK PES was outselling Fifa. On its first weekend, like-for-like, we’ve outsold PES by 25 times.”
Ramsdale concluded: “Let’s be clear, [it’s] an absolutely kick-arse game. It’s unbelievable.”
FIFA 12 sold 3.2 million units in it first week on sale and deservadly so – read our FIFA 12 review for reasons why.
