Yeah, haha. But a great game deserves all the sales it could get. I’m happy.

Got it. And yes, big games like FIFA almost always have server issues when they’re newly released. I expect that to be sorted soon.

no they dont play video games thats what im saying, out of every single person who lives on this island 1 in 65 of them will have a copy of fifa 13! if you narrow it down to households, or number of 12-40 year old men it would be more like 30-50% of all people
But yeah really strong sales, i think they release it in other areas first so they can test the servers, in hope that when Europe comes on board they can handle the huge influx of players, however i still foud it almost impossible to play a FUT online seasons game on friday. I think this is also the first week fifa 12 finally slipped out of the top 20 since its release exactly a year ago!

“Including women, babies, the elderly.” Haha. Babies play FIFA too? I had no clue, Foxton.

But yes, the number’s quite impressive. I have a feeling it’d do even better if the release was simultaneous around the world, just like Call of Duty games.

impressive, remember this is UK sales only, and its not a week, its only been out since Friday, three days, one of which was a Sunday where trading rules are severely restricted! still over a million sales in three days from a population of 65million aint bad, 1 in every 65 people (including women, babies, the elderly) in Britain have a copy of fifa 13!
