Masterstroke By Micorsoft In The Console War

Next generation gamers eager to play the latest football titles will need to purchase an Xbox 360.
Microsoft has signed an exclusive deal with EA games for Fifa 07 and with Konami for Pro Evolution Soccer 6.

The 12 month deal means that neither buyers of Sony's PlayStation 3 or Nintendo's Wii will be able to play the football games when they launch.

The announcement was made at this year's Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany.

How do you stop people buying the latest rival console thats coming out ??
Buy the rights to the best games people would have mostly been buying the console for in the first place.

Well, in the UK and Europe anyway, i guess most Americans won't be too fussed... :winkwink:

Madden is real football. That's just soccer.

I'm not getting into this dedate again... :1orglaugh

This will hurt Sony's PS3 sales... Fifa has always been one of the most popular PS games. Thumbs up for Microsoft though! That's business.

This is a good move for Microsoft but for me as a consumer it sucks.

It's just another move that fucks over consumers. Just like all the exclusive licenses in sports games.

damm
i'll have to play Pro Evolution Soccer 6 on my computer then
