it's only 2006 exclusive for next gen system's both ea and konami didn't say 12month exclusive they could very well release a football title early, mid, late next year.

 

Electronic Arts announced that FIFA 07 would be coming to the Xbox 360 this morning, but the news the company wanted to emphasize was what will be running the game--the game's new engine.

 

The system has taken two years to develop and represents what the company says is the 'single largest investment EA has ever made in the football business'. Innovations include independent ball physics, which EA claims will create unpredictable gameplay, and players that can be recognised by their individual traits and styles of movement.

 

Andrew Wilson, senior producer for FIFA 07 at EA, said, 'Get ready for the first real next-gen football experience. FIFA 07 on Xbox 360 will deliver athletes that move as fluidly, as realistically, and as intuitively as athletes in real life'.

 

In related news, Microsoft has confirmed to GameSpot that the Xbox 360 will be the exclusive next-generation home for both FIFA 07 and Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (titled Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 in the US) for the next 12 months. The news marks a major coup for the company, since it eliminates any chance of either of the megapopular sports franchises coming to either Sony's PlayStation 3 or Nintendo's Wii until late 2007.

Not quite the same as what you said? And you said even late next year, surely thats getting towards 12 months exclusive?! Altho I will give you it with Pro Evo cos konami have since said:

 

"It has been falsely reported on some websites that Konami will release its Pro Evolution Soccer 6 exclusively for Microsoft's Xbox 360. These reports are not true. Konami is currently proceeding with the production of a multi-platform release of Pro Evolution Soccer 6 so that as many people as possible can enjoy the game.

 

While the phrasing of that statement could mean Konami simply refutes any reports that the game would be entirely exclusive to the 360 and not appearing on current-gen systems at all, a Konami rep told GameSpot the statement was in reference to Microsoft's press release claiming next-gen exclusivity. That press release was worded ambiguously to say that the franchises would be next-gen exclusive to the Xbox 360 "this year," which could mean the calendar year 2006 or the 12-month exclusivity widely reported. (Before running with the 12-month figure, GameSpot repeatedly confirmed the yearlong period with Microsoft representatives.)"

 

But defo looks like no FIFA to be as EA said

 

"For EA's part, it appears the publisher is standing by Microsoft's statement. An EA rep told GameSpot bluntly that "FIFA 07 will not be coming to PS3 and Wii. It is available on all current gen platforms and Xbox 360 only." However, that still doesn't exclude the possibility of a FIFA title appearing on PS3 or Wii under another name next year."

So whilst it does remain confusing I think my initial question still stands, when do you think we will see a serious football game?????
