Fifa 2011 Outselling PES 2011 in the Battle of the Football Video Games

It is the battle of the football gaming heavyweights. For so many years now there has been a huge rivalry between Fifa and PES game series. This time around it looks like Fifa 2011 has been outselling PES 2011.

Pro Evolution Soccer 11 is only one place below FIFA 11 in the UK gaming charts, but the weekend just gone was its opening one, with FIFA already being out for over a week, and Konami would have wanted top spot at the very least.

Instead, it has still failed to outsell its main competitor, despite FIFA 11 already being purchased by over 2.6 million people (worldwide) already.

It is being reported that PES 2011 only sold a tenth of the amount of copies that FIFA 11 managed in its opening week in the UK.

CTRUS Football Concept with Built In GPS and RFID Tracking

The CTRUS concept ball would be embedded with GPS and RFID tracking, allowing game officials to more accurately judge games.

The most interesting part of the new tech-enhanced ball would be its transparent, somewhat skeletal looks.
