to your earlier remark about EA being scared of PES and that why there releasing FIFA early its actually called sales technique's.IF you bring out a game the same time and you believe it could make an impact on sales against your opponent then you will make better sales headway than bringing it out afterwards as then everyon would have a footie game and might not want to buy another.
Although....
Last year I worked in GAME when FIFA was released a week after PES. A hell of a lot of people brought back PES and exchanged it for FIFA. Also in one day we made just over £17'000 on FIFA and PES made £14'000 thats a fair distance in sales between the two.
One word. Licenses.
A better word. Patchers.
