For yet another year, FIFA has surpassed PES in glorious fashion, shifting many, many, many more copies than its rival.

FIFA 17 currently rests at number one in the UK gaming charts, whilst PES 2017 has been relegated to number six. This is proof enough of which game is selling more, but industry analyst @ZhugeEX (Daniel Ahmad) has pointed out the sheer scale of the trouncing.

FIFA 17 sold over 1.1 million units in its first week in the UK.



Meanwhile PES 2017 can't hit 50k. — Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) October 3, 2016

After shifting 40 times as many copies as their opponent, EA execs will be giving themselves a tidy pat on the back.

FIFA 17 selling over 1.1 million copies in the UK in its first week is a record for the franchise. Some are predicting that the game will out-sell FIFA 13, which sold over 14.5 million copies. If so, EA can expect to recoup hundreds of millions of pounds.

This will be a bitter pill to swallow for Konami, as PES 2017 has received critical acclaim, with many (including ourselves) lauding it as a better game than FIFA 17. Sub-50k sales is undoubtedly a smaller figure than the publisher was aiming for.

It looks like FIFA's branding and access to licences has won the day once again. Konami is unable to feature the biggest teams and players - a draw for many gamers seeking to create their ultimate team.

FIFA 17 is now available in a series of crazy Xbox One S and PlayStation 4 bundles which are cheap as chips. If you're a fan of carefully manoeuvring balls and short shorts, these could be just the ticket.
