Team USA may have been eliminated from Cup contention, but North American sales have remained strong for Electronic Arts' FIFA 2006 World Cup. According to Amazon's sales charts, EA's footballer is currently the top selling game for the Xbox 360, the second most popular PlayStation 2 title, and a solid #3 on the original Xbox. The PSP edition also checks in at a respectable #6.Meanwhile, DS gamers are busy flexing their brains, while the GameCube faithful partake in a half dozen adventures with the plumber.

Too bad that the Chechz didn't even qualify for the 2nd round.
Oh well, at least my hometeam Mexico is still in the fight.

What exactly are you getting at Alan? Are you trying to say that Nintendo fans don't care about Soccer (or Football depending on where your from)?
Are you trying to say that we Nintendo fans only care about an overweight plumber from Brooklyn, and expanding our mind power for world domination?
Uhh....scratch that last part.

Can someone tell me what was enhanced by this version of 'World Cup' over the last version? Or are we just seeing a case of EA-idis (

Nothing is enhanced. Well, except the title and EA's profits from selling double the footbal games...

what a great World cup its proving to be! I feel sorry for those who cant appreciate it, it truly is the most amazing spectacle in the world.
No team has yet to hit form, I'm hoping England can sort themselves out because we'll never have a better chance!!
COME ON ENGLAND!!!

Goddammit, Korea is out. :(
Oh well, here's to the next four years, Red Devils!
Now I'm going to focus my attention on Spain and Ghana. Most particularly Ghana. (I love a good underdog sports story)
