FIFA 'beating the heck out of Pro Evo'

... that's according to EA, at least, as firm claims 75 per cent of 2009 football game sales in EU
Electronic Arts has claimed that it took 75 per cent of football games sales across Europe last year.

The firm's European boss Jens Uwe Intat said today that the franchise was "beating the heck" out of age-old rival Pro Evolution Soccer in Europe.

We somehow doubt Konami agree...

"We continue to beat the heck of Pro Evo and across Europe we're taking 75 per cent of the football space," he told MCV Magazine.

"FIFA was neck and neck with Modern Warfare 2 [in 2009] to be the best-selling game across Europe."

In the same interview, Intat claimed that EA was readying an 'attack' on Activision's Call Of Duty series, as reported by CVG earlier today.

I converted to FIFA this year, the only thing I've ever based my choice of football game is how it plays (didn't overly care about the right kits etc) and this year FIFA edged it for me.

It makes me feel dirty.

EA have really stepped up their game this gen. Dead space, Dantes inferno and FIFA are all great.

Glad I am not the only one feeling dirty over the switch.

I have owned every PES since day one, but as much as I hate to say it, FIFA 10 is just about the best footy game ever made.

EA have set the bar so incredibly high that Konami's best efforts to better it are practically the equivalent of a good looking midget with one leg wearing concrete boots trying to jump over Peter Crouch's washing line. Or something. Surprised

Don't feel dirty, people. Konami haven't made a decent game (of any sort) in years. They just rehash everything they've already done. Gone are the days they used to make really innovative and fun games like in the SNES era. Only the Castlvania DS games tend to be half decent but that's not enough, but let's face it...

Konami are crap and that's that

Well, most of my mates seem to prefer FIFA over PES, and have for some years. I don't know myself as I don't play football games, but FIFA seems to have dominated, at least around here, for quite a while.

And MGS4 wasn't crap, quite the opposite.

@Mr solo dolo,

same here! I've been an evo man since the ISS days. I've not experienced much of the discontent of other Pro Ev fans but when I played FIFA 10 at length I felt I'd been wasting my time with Pro Ev. PES is a good football game. FIFA is football.

I don't feel dirty, because FIFA is so far superior that I feel adult enough to admit I was wrong. Nor do I feel dirty for slagging FIFA off for years, because it was proper rubbish until fifa 08, IMO

Konami didnt make metal gear solid.

In reality It was Kojima productions who made MGS4 but they're owned by Konami
