Canadian Online Gamers - "Last year I considered FIFA Soccer 12 to be by far one of the best virtual representations of the sport of soccer (football to the Europeans reading this) that I have ever played as it managed to address the issues from previous FIFA games and deliver an outstanding soccer game that just felt so right. I wasn’t the only one that felt this way as the game generated some great review scores across the globe to go along with some strong sales. Naturally this leads me to ask the question: how in the blue hell could FIFA Soccer 13 be any better than FIFA 12 which sold over 10 million copies in a 4-month span last year? Well after some extended playtime on the FIFA 13 soccer pitch I think it’s safe to say the development team has effectively pushed the franchise forward closer into the realm of virtual soccer perfection."
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games.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
