Things have improved significantly in 2023 so far, with console revenue up 104%. This is due to improved supply for PS5, which saw revenue jump 283% compared with the same period in 2022. By comparison, Nintendo Switch sales has dropped 8% year-to-date and Xbox Series S and X sales are down 23%.
PES and FIFA were the true football rivals of gaming for two decades, but the landscape of football games has changed dramatically in recent years. GameSpew looks back on the rivalry, and where the franchises are now.
No contest since 2012, PES/Pro Evo dominates FIFA in gameplay but fails in UX/UI and licenses. Graphics are a slight nod to FiFA.
Interesting read, some stuff not factually correct though.
EA didnt lose the rights to the name FIFA. They chose not to relicense due to the extortionate fee that they were being charged.
The bottom line is true though, EA are comfortable and put what feels like little to no effort into each release. There is still so much that can be done with this game and yet, we see so little.
PS5 sales jumped 197% in Europe over August 2022.
Sports games were not lacking on the Nintendo Switch, featuring a diverse collection of games that could appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers.
