UK :
TOP 40 ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE - INDIVIDUAL FORMATS (UNITS) - Week 40, 2008

It’s the biggest ever launch of a FIFA game with EA’s ‘FIFA 09’ outselling last year’s game by 37.5%, toppling ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’ at No1 in the All Formats Chart and debuting at the top of the PS2, PS3, PSP and Xbox 360 charts.
42% of sales were on Xbox 360, making it the 3rd fastest selling game on Microsoft’s format (behind GTA IV and Halo 3), while 40% of sales were on PS3 where it is the 2nd fastest selling game (behind GTA IV). The PS2 version accounted for 11% of sales and PSP 3%, while Nintendo’s formats and PC made up the remainder. Half of EA’s 8 All Formats No1’s so far this year have come in the past six weeks. Sales of ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’ are down 40%, falling one place to No2, while Ubisoft’s ‘Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway’ climbs one place to No3. Nintendo’s popular Wii games ‘Wii Fit’ and ‘Mario Kart Wii’ are both down 2 places to No’s 3 and 4 respectively. EA have 2 All Formats games in the Top 10 this week as ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09’ is still swinging, down from No5 to No6.
The rest of the Top 10 is made up of 3 party game titles all on Nintendo’s formats – ‘Wii Play’ down from No6 to No7, ‘Big Beach Sports’ up one place to No8 and ‘Carnival: Funfair Games’ down from No7 to No10. In its second week, Disney’s racing game ‘Pure’ continues to teeter on the edge of the Top 10, down one place to No9. ‘FIFA 09’ may be the only new release to break into the All Formats Top 40 this week, but several games have good second week sales – Sega’s ‘Samba de Amigo’ breaks in at No18 along with ‘Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood’ at No31. There are also several retailer promotions on games such as ‘Super Mario Galaxy’, which re-enters at No21 and ‘Wall-E’ which climbs from No18 to No13.

How is the Fifa price/ad situation in other countries? I'll start with mine, Spain:

PS3/360 70€ (yes, 97$)
WII 50€
PSP/NDS 40€
PS2/PC 35€

Heavy emphasis on the ads that Fifa is the only football game this year with the spanish LFP license. Boxart shown at the end is the PS3 one. I'd expect the PS3 to be first, PS2 to be second (very nice price), and 360 or PSP third. GAME has a ranking from their stores and its more or less like that.

We've been told to push Fifa really hard this weekend where I work. For this weekend only its £34.99 on PS3 and 360 and £24.99 on PS2. With that you get a £5 voucher off your next game and a free leather football. Huge displays are up in store too.

From ChartTrack:

FIFA 09 kickstarts Q4

It’s the biggest ever launch of a FIFA game with EA’s ‘FIFA 09’ outselling last year’s game by 37.5%, toppling ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’ at No1 in the All Formats Chart and debuting at the top of the PS2, PS3, PSP and Xbox 360 charts.

42% of sales were on Xbox 360, making it the 3rd fastest selling game on Microsoft’s format (behind GTA IV and Halo 3), while 40% of sales were on PS3 where it is the 2nd fastest selling game (behind GTA IV). The PS2 version accounted for 11% of sales and PSP 3%, while Nintendo’s formats and PC made up the remainder. Half of EA’s 8 All Formats No1’s so far this year have come in the past six weeks. Sales of ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’ are down 40%, falling one place to No2, while Ubisoft’s ‘Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway’ climbs one place to No3. Nintendo’s popular Wii games ‘Wii Fit’ and ‘Mario Kart Wii’ are both down 2 places to No’s 3 and 4 respectively. EA have 2 All Formats games in the Top 10 this week as ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09’ is still swinging, down from No5 to No6.

The rest of the Top 10 is made up of 3 party game titles all on Nintendo’s formats – ‘Wii Play’ down from No6 to No7, ‘Big Beach Sports’ up one place to No8 and ‘Carnival: Funfair Games’ down from No7 to No10. In its second week, Disney’s racing game ‘Pure’ continues to teeter on the edge of the Top 10, down one place to No9. ‘FIFA 09’ may be the only new release to break into the All Formats Top 40 this week, but several games have good second week sales – Sega’s ‘Samba de Amigo’ breaks in at No18 along with ‘Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood’ at No31. There are also several retailer promotions on games such as ‘Super Mario Galaxy’, which re-enters at No21 and ‘Wall-E’ which climbs from No18 to No13.

 

[Sadist]

-Fifa 09 PSP outselling Wii.....Is the Wii getting some sort of Fifa All-Play game?

Yes, FIFA '09 All-Play. It does get some prominent shelfspace here in Holland.

Don't know about the UK though.

PS2 - 11%

WII/NDS/PC - 4%

Wow

Wii will still outsell all of them.

 

[pswii60]

SCEE will be happy with the FIFA %. They have invested a lot of money (I assume) in ensuring that the FIFA ads only show the Playstation versions of the game. In fact, the other week there was an entire ad-break long advert for FIFA, showing them playing it with the Sixaxis/DS3 and the Playstation logo at the end.

I wonder if MS will do the same thing for PES. Interestingly though, the interest seems to be moving away from PES and back to FIFA again the UK.

Wii will still outsell all of them.

Wii owns almost half the top 40 in SKUs with 17/40. Having said that, it'd be interesting to see how this compares in actual sales. It seems that 360/PS3 titles are more top-heavy whereas the sales of Wii titles are more spread out.

But in the case of FIFA Wii, will it have legs like other Wii titles?

Now we see what consoles soccer moms bought for their children

There are no Soccer moms in Europe. They have FOOTBALL moms.

Judging by %s, it would seem that the Wii version would have to repeat it sales for this week for months and months to just match 360 or PS3's first week sales.

They'd be called 'football mums' over here, but I haven't heard that term used before.

To be honest with you. I hope not. It´s all about PES for me.

@DXB-KNIGHT
I know.

Who knows, last year Tiger Woods went on to sell twice the amount on Wii than PS3 and 360.

Anything can happen!

FIFA 08:

PS2 300k+
360 300k+
PS3 300k+
PSP 200k+
Wii 100k+

SCEE will be happy with the FIFA %. They have invested a lot of money (I assume) in ensuring that the FIFA ads only show the Playstation versions of the game. In fact, the other week there was an entire ad-break long advert for FIFA, showing them playing it with the Sixaxis/DS3 and the Playstation logo at the end.

SCEE banks a lot on soccer titles as hardware sellers. Many people in Europe buy consoles just to play these games every year (and I'm not joking :lol :lol ).
Looking at the huge tie ratio FIFA might have incresed PS3 sales last week as SCEE expected.

Quite funny how the ads for PES 2009 started at the back end of last week, all 360, of course. Even Messi with a 360 controller.

I personally don't think these 'exclusive' ads make a jot of difference.

UK :
TOP 40 ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE - INDIVIDUAL FORMATS (UNITS) - Week 40, 2008

It’s the biggest ever launch of a FIFA game with EA’s ‘FIFA 09’ outselling last year’s game by 37.5%, toppling ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’ at No1 in the All Formats Chart and debuting at the top of the PS2, PS3, PSP and Xbox 360 charts.
42% of sales were on Xbox 360, making it the 3rd fastest selling game on Microsoft’s format (behind GTA IV and Halo 3), while 40% of sales were on PS3 where it is the 2nd fastest selling game (behind GTA IV). The PS2 version accounted for 11% of sales and PSP 3%, while Nintendo’s formats and PC made up the remainder. Half of EA’s 8 All Formats No1’s so far this year have come in the past six weeks. Sales of ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’ are down 40%, falling one place to No2, while Ubisoft’s ‘Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway’ climbs one place to No3. Nintendo’s popular Wii games ‘Wii Fit’ and ‘Mario Kart Wii’ are both down 2 places to No’s 3 and 4 respectively. EA have 2 All Formats games in the Top 10 this week as ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09’ is still swinging, down from No5 to No6.
The rest of the Top 10 is made up of 3 party game titles all on Nintendo’s formats – ‘Wii Play’ down from No6 to No7, ‘Big Beach Sports’ up one place to No8 and ‘Carnival: Funfair Games’ down from No7 to No10. In its second week, Disney’s racing game ‘Pure’ continues to teeter on the edge of the Top 10, down one place to No9. ‘FIFA 09’ may be the only new release to break into the All Formats Top 40 this week, but several games have good second week sales – Sega’s ‘Samba de Amigo’ breaks in at No18 along with ‘Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood’ at No31. There are also several retailer promotions on games such as ‘Super Mario Galaxy’, which re-enters at No21 and ‘Wall-E’ which climbs from No18 to No13.

FIFA 08:

PS2 300k+
360 300k+
PS3 300k+
PSP 200k+
Wii 100k+

If the Wii sold a maximum 3% from the Chart Track data then 100k for Wii would mean that Fifa sold 3.3 Million copies in the Uk in 2 days, and the 360 version sold 1.38 Million...

This is not possible, neither is the PSP value.
