FIFA 12 Beat PES 2012 in Japan

Electronic Arts issued a statement which is quite controversial regarding their football game franchise. EA claims to have managed beat PES 2012 with sales figures that are very badly through the innovation they offer in FIFA 12. Figures created in UK is indeed quite phenomenal if we look a little history of domination that had carved by PES 5 years ago. The outsold in the western world by EA games? Something reasonable. But who would have thought if the game made by Konami, also lose in its own native country?

FIFA 12 has just been released officially in Japan and immediately soared to the top 10 best selling games in Japan this week. Much better than the numbers recorded by the Konami PES 2012. EA managed to sell 3000 copies more than the Konami during the past week. However, whether this means that FIFA 12 managed to subdue the Japanese market? If only by seeing this week scoring, we have to admit it. However, if you look at sales figures overall sales after its release, PES 2012 which had topped the top 10 best-selling games in Japan when first released still leading.
