FIFA Proves Doubters Like Me Wrong Once Again.
FIFA is back once again and while in the build up I didn't see enough changes to get me excited for it, I was amazingly impressed by how different it felt compared to FIFA 12 as soon as I began my very first match.
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games.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

Although this is in the Vita section, I would like to say, it's FIFA 13 in name alone on Vita. Based on the 17 1 star reviews out of 17 reviews on Amazon UK, looks like EA just copied across FIFA Football, changed rosters and kits and the menu and called it a day. It's basically the Vita launch title with none of the improvements from the console versions.
