FIFA 14 producer expects to beat FIFA 13 sales, targets Call of Duty

4.7
FIFA 14 producer Sebastian Enrique has boldly predicted that the upcoming game will outsell FIFA 13.

FIFA 13 sales surpassed 12 million units between the title's release last September and the end of 2012, according to publisher EA, but Enrique appears undaunted by the challenge of living up to last year's series entry.
"We have a very strong feature set so I am very confident that we can do better in terms of sales and numbers than FIFA 13," he told MCV.

While Enrique acknowledged the challenge FIFA 14 will face from the next PES instalment, which will be powered by Kojima Productions' Fox Engine, he said he wants FIFA 14 to steal some of Call of Duty's audience.

"I respect Konami a lot and they produce good games. A lot of people have played their games for ages. I think having competition is a good thing but we don't consider competition to just be Pro Evolution Soccer. Call of Duty is also competition.

"People that are playing Call of Duty are not playing FIFA. We want them to play FIFA and we achieve that by creating the best possible game that we can create. That's what we focus on."

EA officially announced FIFA 14 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC last week, noting that "additional formats" will be revealed in the coming months. It is currently seeking FIFA 14 testers for playtest sessions due to be held later this month and early next.

I don't see this happening, I don't think football has enough appeal in the US for it to take down COD.

STaRzZ_HDII This will not beat cod in no way or form there audience is not big enough

More people play soccer then are in the military. So audience wise, the FIFA series will surpass COD in the next few years.

I'm sure fifa will continue to expand for the next couple of years. CoD is in it's on category pretty much, You can't compete with it... To many people are brainwashed into thinking it's a good series.

I am sure that Fifa 14 can surpass the sales of Fifa 13 as long as it isn't a complete mess, but as for beating Call of Duty's sales figures, that is a bold statement, I don't think Fifa 14 will achieve it.

Slytherin I don't think FIFA could out sell Call of Duty. FIFA might be popular but they aren't that popular


they will never be that popular

I think that they might be due to the development of foreign nations. Soccer is the biggest sport in the world and played by the most people. If they have an Xbox they will get into this game. Plus FIFA sales are rising at a faster rate then Call of duty.

Fifa has a chance. Soccer is becoming huger and huger. I wouldn't be surprised if they do.
