EA boasts Football prowess
EA's FIFA does it again... Have the buying public never heard of Pro Evolution soccer 2?
Posted by John Wasabi - PlayStation 2,GameCube,Xbox,PC - UK and Europe

Electronic Arts has announced that its FIFA Football 2003 series has established itself as the definitive Football game to buy this Year. FIFA Football 2003 has sold a market-leading 2.5 million units across all platforms in Europe, outselling the nearest competitor by a 2:1 ratio. European retail data also shows that FIFA Football 2003 has extended its lead on the PlayStation 2 platform with a consistently higher chart position than its direct rivals in France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

"Europeans love FIFA Football 2003 because it is a game designed by football players for football fans," said EA European General Manager Gerhard Florin. "Our development studio made major improvements and innovations to the game this year, and football fans are showing their approval. We're very happy with the results we're seeing in stores across Europe."

Well, I guess we are all guilty of being suckers for advertising and well placed marketing positioning at some point in our lives. Let me say now that another football game does exist out there and it is called Pro Evolution Soccer 2.
