FIFA 17 Outsold PES 2017 40:1 in the UK
Oct 3, 2016, by Pat
According to video games analyst Daniel Ahmad, FIFA 17 is on course to break the sales records set by FIFA 13 and outsold PES 2017 40:1 in its first week in the UK.
FIFA 17 to Become Best-Selling FIFA Game Ever?
Selling more than 1.1 million copies in its first week in the United Kingdom alone, FIFA 17 could be on course to break FIFA 13's sales of more than 15 million globally. PES, meanwhile, sold less than 50k copies in its first week in the UK and is down even compared to PES 2016's performance.
Of course it's expected that FIFA 17 would outsell PES, thanks to the many exclusive licenses it holds in comparison to the Konami title - the Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga are all exclusive to FIFA - but selling 40 times as much is a massive feat.

Bayern München 26-27 Oktoberfest Kit Spotted for Sale
The upcoming Adidas Bayern München 26-27 Oktoberfest jersey has been spotted hanging on retail racks ahead of its official launch in September.
Moving away from the club's traditional Bavarian-inspired palettes and subtle motifs of previous years, the new Wiesn shirt introduces a radical look featuring a vibrant, multicolored abstract graphic set against a black base. The energetic design is complemented by off-white Three Stripes on the shoulders, the classic Adidas Trefoil logo, an ornate heritage Bayern Munich crest, and cream sponsor detailing.
Bukayo Saka and Yan Diomande Debut Whiteout New Balance Furon V9 Boots
Arsenal talisman Bukayo Saka and Real Madrid signing Yan Diomande have both taken to the pitch wearing all-white New Balance Furon V9 boots at the start of the 26-27 campaign. Thanks to @volkyfootballboots.v2 for spotting.
As two of the primary headline athletes for New Balance's flagship speed silo, their synchronized switch away from standard on-pitch colorways to a whiteout look points toward an upcoming limited-edition pack or special release from the American brand in the near future.
It’s normal that brands hide their new flagship-shoes with a whiteout colorway until their release takes place officially, so competitors can’t already get an early glimpse into their newest design.
