Does anyone have a link to the press release? 'Cause the only place I can find that text is in the user comments section of that eurogamer article.
Microsoft announced that the next generation of soccer will be available exclusively on the Xbox 360 console this year. With FIFA 07 from Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) and Pro Evolution Soccer 6 from Konami Digital Entertainment Inc., Xbox 360 will be the only place where gamers can enjoy next generation soccer this year.
are you sure you're not talking about nintifans?travisbickle said:But noone's got high definition tv's in Europe [/usual Xbot retort]
jett said:It's definitely a positive for the 360, no doubt, but it's not an ENORMOUS BLOW to Sony as Nozi said.
bothantoniogaud said:Do either of these games feature teams from the English Premiere League?
In other words, the game was never actually scheduled for release on the PS3 in 06 anyway, therefore it is an exclusive by default.
Kabuki Waq said:its Nozi .....
Ghost said:Eurogamer said that the guy said 12 months in the presentation, not just 'this year' so there is confusion over which is the correct statement.
Ajax said:OK so can we agree that both games are certainly good for 360 but it's neither news or an MS accomplishment? Seriouly wouldn't you be annoyed if some ignorant went on the MGS4 thread and start yelling: "OMG PS3 EXCLUSIVE. MS HAS A PROBLEM NOW!" Wouldn't you correct him?
travisbickle said:The European version only gets released every 12 months, so it probably is a year exclusive but the European version is a tweaked version of the Japanese Winning Eleven engine which gets released around April. So Pes 6 is tweaked version of WE 9 which was released April 2006, PES 6 comes out october 20th. WE 10 new version for PS3 (probably) out in Japan April, tweaked for release in Europe October.
This thread will be fun if it's all for naught, and the whole thing is nothing but some clever PR speak.Jim said:I believe they are only exclusive for the remainder of 2006. Neither EA nor Konami announced it as an exclusive whatsoever in their GC press releases for the games. Literally, the only bit that even mentions exclusivity is on Microsoft's press release.

Kabuki Waq said:wait so this isnt based off of WE10?
I enjoy WE10 way more than 9.
EA PR said:"They mean for the remainder of the 2006 year and NOT the next 12 months."
Jim said:Whelp, as I said, it's official. Directly from EA PR which is specifically handling FIFA:

thirty said:the damage control in this thread is just aweful :lol "people will just buy the ps2 version and play it on ps3!" :lol wao. just....wao.
Damage control bots am owned.Kabuki Waq said:Ps2 versions of 08 will probably kill the true next gen ps3 soccer games as well. Whats your point? might not be a huge blow to SONY but it is gonna effect the PS3 negatively for a bit.
Nozi said:If this was a play on words, it was extremely cunning because all the major news outlets have 12 month exclusivity reports all over the press.
MrPing1000 said:nope, people will just buy the ps2 version and play it on their ps2
Jim said:Ok, well looks like EA US and EA UK were not on the same page, as I've just confirmed with the correct individuals that FIFA is indeed now a 12 month Xbox 360 next-gen exclusive.
