Winning Goal

It was confirmed today that Japanese footy title Winning Eleven 8 - the game that will eventually become Pro Evolution Soccer 4 - has sold 1 million copies on its launch day in Japan (5th August) Though it gets outsold by the FIFA series, the Pro Evolution Soccer series is the best football game available. Even better than the previous champion - Sensible Soccer.

Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is out this autumn and promises to be the best yet. Not only is there the possibility of online play via the first ever Xbox version, but there is a glimmer that Southampton may be included. Neither of these rumours have been confirmed, but even I would let the Saints part go if it mean online play via Xbox Live - truly a reason never to leave the house again.
