FIFA 10 is popular
FIFA 2010 is the fastest selling game ever. Bar none. That is an impressive stat, but last night while bringing Bayern Munich to domestic glory, I noted the ticker across the bottom of the menu displaying rather brash stats about how great they are. Yes, the game was bragging to its players. Probably just in case a stray Pro Evo fan jumped on by mistake.
EA says FIFA 10 sold 26 percent better than FIFA 09 did in the same period in 2009, which is about a 3 month period. The game ticker will also brag that FIFA 10 is breaking franchise records, with an average of “3 million games played daily and over 113 million total online games played on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 over the past two months.” That’s a lot of games, and considering 50% of the people have to loose a game – it’s pretty disparaging!
EA have also announced FIFA 10 Ultimate Team, some new DLC which will be available in February 2010 on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.
Producer Paul Hossack says, “We now have over 7,000 players from 27 leagues available, from which gamers will craft one or multiple squads to show their mastery of the revamped, more realistic chemistry system, and compete in tournaments with exciting requirements and rewards. On top of that, we’ll release new tournaments and other updates regularly to keep the experience fresh and exciting.”
Look out for more FIFA in 2010, as well as FIFA 2011, in 2010. Yes, it is that confusing.
Its such a heart warming rags to riches story
