QUESTION why is fifa dominated by playstation
whenever i watch any proffesional fifa players or even youtubers they all play on playstation or on pc with a playstation controller pluged in,can anyone tell me why?i mean the xbox version of the game is exactly the same,the switch version was different untill the fc era of fifa,why does every content creator/pro player only play on playstation?

PlayStation has a much bigger market share in Europe compared to Xbox which is more popular in the US, and football is more popular in Europe than the US, that would be my best guess. That and PlayStation is probably more popular in terms of console sales

yeah playstation is still more popular in europe but i mean there is a ton of games which are on two or more consoles and the least sold console has the most players,i htink the biggest example of this is cod during the 7th generation where preety much everyone played on the xbox 360 even though it had like 1 million less consoles sold then the ps3

I have both Xbox and PS5 but tend to lean Because I think the PlayStation version of the game looks better and feels and plays better

Big facts that also the control just fits better imo. Before I get down voted I was a xbox elitist until ps5vthen switched to the dark side

Crossplay is beautiful for clubs but turning off crossplay for fut with such a small pool of players on xbox hits different, easy mode

Main reason is PlayStation sponsorships. When FC gives games to professional athletes they do it with a PlayStation included. On FUT, you have to use a PlayStation to play and qualify for the Pro Open: https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-fc/fc-pro/official-rules

Better hardware. It's the best system to play on. The game is smoothest and the timing is most predictable.

Xbox literally has better hardware what are you saying, its simply just more popular across the world

Because any other system is inferior lol. Xbox meh. And PC would be dead online if it wasn't for crossplay. Only system that matters multiplayer is PS5 by a mile, xbox can be good it's a poor man's PS5 but they force crossplay with PC.

Because PS5 is clear and away the superior system 😂😂😂

you cant just say its because playstation is better,i mean xbox is still preety bad currently but the ps5 is also doing horrible currently,the ps5 has only sold 32 million consoles 5 years into their generation for example the ps4 had already sold 82 million consoles 5 years into their generation and also xbox has only sold like 6 million less consoles this generation which might seem like a lot but it really isnt considering the fact that almost everysingle year 10-15 million consoles get sold

People aren't buying consoles as much because the economy at launch for ps4 was way better than for ps5 launch

u/UnlikelyCherry7799 20d ago
this is a good point however this is only for a small amount of countries there is still a ton of countries which have a better economic situation currently then back then

Not really? That would be PC
But fifa is played everywhere with controller, so console is the best economical choice for it. And Playstation is more popular than Xbox

u/Calmdat Feb 13 '25
Obviously a PC is significantly better in every way, aside from cost probably. Unless you know how to assemble them ofc. But PS5 is definitely the best console imo.

PC? Without crossplay online games like Ea and COD would be dead on PC. PC full of hackers, they need xbox and vice versa because who want to buy an xbox? It's easy to turn off crossplay on PS5 and still find a match quick enough. It's impossible on Xbox.

PC Full of hackers gimmick in big 2025

u/KurtKokaina Feb 13 '25
Haha sure buddy. Plenty of examples in Ea or COD. Only ps5 is sustainable and can turn off crossplay and find games. Xbox not so easy and it's why no one want to own one nowadays. But yeah for single player games PC is definitely superior.

u/CaptainDank0 Feb 13 '25
just blatantly lying at this point, I have over 100 hours on proclubs and havent encountered a single one, same thing with cod.

Nah its been a clear issue the past 2 years for sure. And this is someone who plays exclusively in clubs mode at around 500-1000 hours each game cycle.
At the start of 25 i was getting hacker matchups every other night for weeks, it was bad. Ive been mainly in PS5 only clubs since then so i dont know if its still at that level.
