I am baffled, to say the least.

 

[Nakazato]

Everything was fifa

 

[StrongBlackVine]

That is sad.

 

[Vuze]

Based Forza Horizon 3 saving this otherwise atrocious list.

Also PS3 ranked twice? The hell.

 

[L~A]

Fifazon, more like it.

 

[Kiko]

Germans definately like soccer....and Fifa...

 

[Nocturnowl]

I'm almost inclined to believe some people thought they were buying FIFA Horizon 3 and were disappointed to discover they got a much better non football related game.

 

[Exentryk]

I'll take a guess and say Fifa is quite popular there.

 

[iTehDroiD]

As a german I'm ashamed!

 

[Hektor]

The super deluxe edition not having a dash in front of it is making me itchy

 

[Oersted]

König Fussball

 

[Hanmik]

 

[Auto-Reply]

The beautiful chart!

 

[Bitch Pudding]

I am baffled, to say the least.

Wo ist der Landwirtschaftssimulator 2017????

Sachen gibts...

 

[Zedark]

LOL, that's a really funny chart. To be expected though, Germany is the second/third biggest country in football (soccer for Americans), just behind Spain and maybe England. Not really surprised it takes over big time in its release week (my brother, who doesn't play games at all, really, will even buy FIFA 17 for XBOX 360 in Germany).

Second/third based on?

 

[Acquiescence]

Let's celebrate FIFA domination by singing along to the greatest song ever written about the beautiful game...

You're welcome.

 

[Kilrogg]

Should have been

 

[Forerunner]

Football and cars

 

[Nocturnowl]

Should have been

I can still hear the title screen announcer in my head, he really sold the word DELUXE.

 

[Jindrael]

I can confirm that it feels like EVERYBODY has fifa here, from kids to teens to adults.

Soccer is a cult sport here and the Fifa hype has been the same since I can remember.
If there is a console in the household there is like a 95% chance they have a Fifa game.7

 

[eloxx]

That does not surprise me very much except for the still high PS3 sales. I wonder what that means in numbers. Are there still so many PS3s in use?

 

[FelipeMGM]

lol

This is actually pretty amazing

 

[Kaffeemann]

Football was a mistake.

 

[Zedark]

Second/third based on?

Both official rankings and in general popularity (I don't have numbers for that, but as a European, Germany is in the top 3 prominent football countries in the news and in stadiums sizes and team quality as well).

 

[Kayhan]

Die Amazon, die

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Maybe EA should put out more special editions?

 

[brawly]

I knew Fifa would top it...not like this.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Well you get people like my brother where their games console is almost entirely a FIFA box, he hasn't had the need to upgrade from the 360 yet since he can still get his yearly FIFA.
I have to imagine there are a lot of people like that, hence last gen stuff still being prevalent .

 

[YianGaruga]

That's only because Valkyrie Drive didn't officially release in Germany

 

[Taker34]

So we know a few things about German gamers... they like Farming Simulator, causing chaos in Media Markt stores at console launches, PlayStation and lots of FIFA. Looking at my buddies I can confirm this and I still don't get it.

Hi ryz

 

[Oersted]

Both official rankings and in general popularity (I don't have numbers for that, but as a European, Germany is in the top 3 prominent football countries in the news and in stadiums sizes and team quality as well).

So this is not based on the popularity of the sport within the country?

 

[TheMoon]

I am baffled, to say the least.

Why? The only odd thing about this is Forza in the middle.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Based Forza Horizon 3 saving this otherwise atrocious list.

Also PS3 ranked twice? The hell.

Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition.

 

[Kilrogg]

I can still hear the title screen announcer in my head, he really sold the word DELUXE.

Me too.
"One-two"
"One-two"
"Good header"
"He shoots -GOAL! GOAL! GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!"

[EDIT] Here's an absolutely ridiculous (in the most hilarious way) tool-assisted playaround of the game:

Germans have three hobbies:
1. Soccer
2. PlayStation
3. Playing soccer on their PlayStation

 

[mnz]

So this is not based on the popularity of the sport within the country?

No, it's based on results of the club teams internationally.

 

[Diprosalic]

i'm actually surprised the XB1 version outsold the PS3 version.

 

[KHlover]

Of course it is. Can't let the brits get ahead of us in football of all things

 

[Jamie OD]

Poor Pro Evo.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

As a German I am not surprised by this at all.

 

[Nightbird]

Press [F] to pay respect

 

[Zepp Twofist]

I'm surprised that you all are surprised.

 

[VE3TRO]

Suprised PES isn't on the list.

 

[Rymuth]

I can still hear the title screen announcer in my head, he really sold the word DELUXE.

Oh my god~ I know, right?

Internashnal SUPAH STA SOCCER

DELUXE!!

 

[Rellik]

I'm surprised Forza Horizon 3 wasn't replaced with some simulator game.

 

[ULTROS!]

Everything was F-ed.

 

[Benjamin1981]

Media Markt had an extra checkout where the just sold Fifa 17 and there were tons of people. Then i went to Gamestop and before i could say a beep they asked me for which console i preordered Fifa 17. I've never seen such craziness for a game.

 

[KHlover]

Suprised PES isn't on the list.

What's a PES? Can you eat that? Sure you didn't mean PEZ (dispenser)?

srs tho FIFA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PES here
