Sony just got pwned in Europe.

Both the Fifa and Pro Evolution games sell in massive numbers in Europe. This is awesome news for Microsoft and really bad news for Sony.


PES 6 and FIFA 07 exclusive to Xbox 360
Wednesday 23-Aug-2006 1:00 PM Microsoft beats Sony and Nintendo 2-0 as it secures exclusive next-gen deals on major footy franchises

Next-gen versions of Konami' s Pro Evolution Soccer 6 and EA' s FIFA 07 will only release on Xbox 360, according to latest reports.

So says news on trade publication MCV' s website, Microsoft has secured a 12-month exclusivity period for both soccer games, which apparently means neither title will release on PS3 or Wii. So, if that' s indeed the case, Sony' s and Nintendo' s next-gen machines will simply have to wait on the sidelines for PES 7 and FIFA 08.

FIFA 07 on Xbox 360 is due to release in the autumn, PES 6 the following month.

Note that while CVG Online got the story from MVC, it was announced at Microsoft conference at GC just a short while ago.
