I don't begrudge it its success at all, its one of the few yearly releases that actually makes tangible improvements.

Football Domination Continuation.

That´s pretty impressive but since it´s the biggest sport in the world it´s not that surprising,and considering that´s on pretty much every single platform in existance that´s even less impressive tbh,impressive is a game like Diablo 3 selling in a similar ammount of time(a week) well over 6 milion copies in a single platform,now that´s what I call impressive.

You do understand that the install base for Fifa 13 is significantly higher since you can play it on all current gen systems and even the PS2,IOS and,according to you own words,the platform with the biggest install base? That hundreds of millions of people that can acess the game on several different platforms against a game that is only available in one,and I´ve seen plenty of timkes here people arguing against the fact that the PC has a bigger install base than consoles,at least as far as gaming is concerned.

Good stuff. FIFA is by far my favorite sports franchise and there hasn't been a release since 2001 that I haven't enjoyed.

I have had online pass problems, couldn't connect to EA servers, couldn't connect to matches, get stuck playing with one player when online match doesn't end up loading (can't quit to FIFA menu from there either).

Between all their sports games, Need For Speed/Burnout, Battlefield/Medal of Honour, Bioware RPGs, Rockband, and all their licensed games, they pretty much have great games in all sorts of genres... EA hate is silly.

Yep, FIFA 13 is very well made. It may only be 1 year, but they changed a lot, it's hard to go back to FIFA 12 after FIFA 13.

Nope. FIFA 13 has apparently had the biggest launch of any game in 2012 according to IGN. Oh, also Madden sold like 1.65 million in the first week.

Don't know. But Madden outselling FIFA here is to be expected as American Football is about 5 times bigger than Soccer here. 353,000 in one day is damn good numbers for a soccer game.

Is there a way to find out platform specifics sales? I'm wondering whether some percentage pre-ordered it for the Wii U instead. They're going to use the pad for sending players to places and such, imo that is likely to be an improvement.

Well apart from being available on all platforms FIFA represents the biggest sport in the world so I'm honestly not surprised..

Its a great game and I like the improvements done, for football (soccer) fans its one game they shouldnt miss :)
