FIFA Will Beat Pro Evo 2011 - EA Europe Boss
Aug 20th
Electronic Arts European boss Jens Uwe Intat says that FIFA will retain its dominance over the rival Pro Evo franchise this year.
"Our games just get better and better ? we have a clearly superior product to Konami, which I think wasn?t the case in the previous generation," Intat said. "Consumers ? and even journalists ? have come to understand this and the improvements we make; that all adds up to building market share there."
While FIFA has been clearly better than the last few Pro Evo releases this year looks like it might be a closer fight.
We'll find out when FIFA 11 is released on October 1st (Sept 28th in US) and PES 2011 on October 8th.
