EA's latest in the FIFA franchise becomes the first game released in 2007 to reach one million sales at UK retail.
EA has today announced that FIFA 08, the latest and possibly greatest title in the long-running series, has become the first title released in 2007 to reach one million sales at UK retail.
The epic fight between the two soccer giants Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA has been going on for over 10 years now. Cynamite takes a look at the scores from both games and shows, at which point PES overtook the FIFA series.
PS1/PS2 - PES by far
360/PS3 - FIFA by far
I can't see that changing until the next generation of consoles.
2000 - 2005 -> PES dominated since the PS1 days but then it came PES 2006 it was a major letdown
2006 - NOW -> Fifa started to show its quality on this current gen and it evolved year after year while PES was still way behind.
A shame that games like "This is football" just vanished during the PS2 days
pes2011 is much different from any next gen pes, this is really a huge improvement
Its funny to read or talk to the FIFA fanboy they cant accept the true and hate PES.
If you go to the FIFA forums they talk Bs. About pes and they hate it.
In the Pes forums they respect Fifa and many will be getting the two and we aré confidente that PES11 is better and the kind is back

Boomtown writes: "No rivalry in the world of gaming is fiercer than the one between competing football franchises. It almost mirrors the strength of feeling people have for their club. Crossing the divide to support another franchise is a relatively rare occurrence. There are two major derby matches in the football gaming calendar and they feature a bitter enmity which has built up over the last few years. The first is Pro Evolution versus FIFA and the second is Championship Manager versus Football Manager."
cr@p game, pes ftw
Fifa is good on next gen consoles but PES rules last gen consoles.
what a let down
It does feel a little slowish at first but that feeling quickly went away the more I played the game. I just can't get to grips with having to press so many buttons at the same time and trying to keep up with my friend, who absolutely owns (once he choses Barcelona you've lost before the match even starts no matter who you pick). Another thing, does anyone know what that fireball thing beside Man Utd. is? I have no clue what it means and the fact that its beside them and no one else annoys me (no points for guessing who I support in the EPL then).
this game pales in comparison to PES 2007. ironically PES2007 was the worst one i've played in years but it's still better than fifa.
