FIFA 18 Marketing Deal With Sony Instead Of Microsoft- Rumor

4.5
For the last few years, Microsoft has had the exclusive marketing and bundling rights for EA Sports’ FIFA series, which remains one of the biggest selling franchises in the world, and really, the only reason that Xbox has retained any relevance in Europe at all at this point. However, Sony may have dealt Microsoft a fatal blow, here- apparently, according to a picture posted by Polish YouTuber Oskar “Junajted” Siwiec, it seems as though Sony may have won the branding and marketing rights for the game this year.

You can check out the picture below- it very clearly shows PlayStation branding next to the FIFA logo. Now, this is not confirmation of anything, but it is rather conspicuous- and who knows, it may be indicative of an incoming announcement at E3 in a couple of weeks.

If this is true, then Microsoft has definitely been dealt a serious blow by Sony. We’ll know more soon, hopefully.

Sony spending all this money on getting access to games on Playstation a couple weeks/month before Xbox when they could actually be improving their online services and hardware...smh


Think before you comment because that statement is 100% true. FIFA is the top game in europe and FIFA has legends exclusively on Xbox which draws a vasty majority of EU players to Xbox. Now they will all go to PS


Your calculations & assumptions are wrong... people play FIFA on xbox because of the more liable servers & customer service... to say that sony are ahead so far in the industry their customer service & servers are shocking...


Hmm. Interesting, because i own FIFA for both consoles and The servers are MUCH better and reliable on ps4 than x1. Even YouTubers say that regularly, so stop pulling assumptions out of your ass pal. The fact you said people play on Xbox for server reliability and customer service rather than for legends just prove how unknowledgeable you are in this area. Lmao

Since Legends have been introuduced I dont ever think Ive gotten to use one. Theres no point to spend all those coins in a player when a cheap BPL squad with Kante and Smalling and butland will will you division 1 lol

KixaPosted:

I lost all interest in FIFA since 17 it's not even fun anymore same old crap every year and I'm not to concern on the legends because no one packs them anyway.

SkatesPosted:

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony took over.
