The positive is that having one mainstream game will make it easier for organizing competitive tournaments and it is probably good for the growth of eSports, as all the best players will focus on one game only. This is good and bad news for the fans of digital soccer games. The sales figures for the 2019 editions of the games surely will show a widening gap between the two former rivals. This is a further blow to Konami and a major victory for EA Sports. EA Sports were well prepared for this event and they provided a fully licensed World Cup game update, which was the reason for the sale boost.Īnother interesting summer development is that EA Sports managed to take over from Konami two important licenses, primarily the UEFA Champions / Europa league and also the Italian Serie A license. With that being said, FIFA sales would have experienced a bigger drop if there wasn't for the summer World Cup in Russia, which boosted the sale of the game by 10%. For Konami this is a concerning 28% drop in sales, while for FIFA the drop was in the 4% range. It is interesting to note that the sales of both games took a significant hit when compared to the 2017 editions, when FIFA sold 17.01m copies and PES did 1.26m. For Konami PES 2018, around half of the purchases were from Europe, one quarter was from Japan and just above 10% came from North America. Here are the sales figures for the 2018 editions, broken down by platforms:įor EA Sports FIFA 18, 70% of purchases came from the European Continent, while 10% came from North America. The thing is, we don't have to look too far back into the past to find that sales numbers for the two competing video games used to be a lot more even. For the 2017 editions the ratio was around 14 times.

A total of 16.3 million FIFA 18 games have been sold up to this point, compared to 0.9 million Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 games. It is perhaps a good time to take a look at the total sales numbers for last year's editions of the two games.īy looking at the figures it becomes immediately clear that EA Sports, with their FIFA title, continue to strengthen their position in the football video game arena at the expense of Konami and PES. The release dates for FIFA 19 and Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) 2019 video game titles are just days away. Where as Pro Evolution does have a South American cup if you do a domestic season with a team in the continent, FIFA still has just domestic league and domestic cup.Widening Gap Between Sales of FIFA and PES Published on August 24th, 2018 Consġ) Lack of intercontinental cups for some leagues still missing - As a fan of Boca Juniors, nothing is more fun to me than playing other South American teams in career mode. It's a pretty fun way to try and sign a player, and it will also result in you, at times, simply not being able to get the guy you want. You can anger a team by throwing a lowball offer, you can trigger release clauses, add a percentage fee for a future sale and more. There are all new cinematic cut-scenes where you have to negotiate. You don't just send a fee, get a response and then negotiate with a player. Whether it is a clever step over, shielding off and going around or whatever move you want, it's improved how real the game feels.ģ) Negotiation change is cool - A cool new addition is negotiations.
It's not easy in this one, but it is easier, and that certainly seems more realistic.
It's not supposed to be easy, but it seemed way too difficult. 2) The game just feels more realistic - At times in past FIFAs, one of my biggest 'issues' was being able to get by somebody one-on-one.
