FIFPlay: A FIFA 13 video saying Happy Valentine's Day to FIFA 13 fans
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games.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
In Fails of the Weak #210, Jack and Geoff bring you fails in Sniper Elite 3, FIFA 13, Sportsfriends, Destiny, Halo: Reach, and FIFA 14.
Recent study shows that majority of guys that play FIFA broke up with their girlfriends when FIFA 13 came out.
This video is like a sucker punch for them. :P
Not surprised tbh, EA have a nice little cash cow with Fifa currently, minimum costs to update each year and ridiculously high profit. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if their marketing budget is double that of the development costs. Under those circumstances, I'd be sending out my love to all my suckers (customers) too.
Fingers crossed, Konami step it up next gen forcing EA to actually invest again in each year instead of giving us a bunch of half finished features like impact engine and first touch.. Ever since Fifa 11, the game has been getting progressively worse.
Yes thank you EA now fix your buggy online system!
