Source: Digital Spy“A Need for Speed game has been Christmas number one for four of the last five years, with FIFA only pipping it to the post last year in a debatable count back,†said Steve Farrell, senior product manager at EA.
“We are confident the increased quality of the game this year – as well as our extensive marketing campaign, with support throughout the run-up to Christmas – will help to re-establish a Need For Speed game at number one.â€
"November 23 is a great release date to capitalise on the end-of-month pay packets, and with only five weeks until Christmas we fully expect the title to deliver a strong week-on-week sales performance throughout this entire period, both for self purchase and the all-important gifting purchases.â€

Re: EA Confident of Xmas #1
Hmm i think austalia's release date will push sales imo, seeing that its the 29th and after that it would be 3 weeks to xmas (i think).

Re: EA Confident of Xmas #1
I am looking for a blog where I can write down all the complaints about the game . . specially against EA . . no.1 . . I cant skip their logo video! . . why do I have to look at it every time I load the game? . . " EA is cool " . . but why repeat myself so many times? . . . tis getting irritating now . . and I hate it when I have to watch the scenes b4 every race . . I have tons more things to write down which EA better notice! . . . this game would be one of my fav nfs games only if they had reply mode . . . cause I am good with the game . . why cant I relieve my good memories instead of relieving EA's logo and the long cut-scenes even after getting totaled!

Re: EA Confident of Xmas #1
On X360 i think you can skip the video's ive only played the X360 demo for PS and i could do it.
Re: EA Confident of Xmas #1
The cut scene for totalled car is a bit irritating indeed, but all in all the game is cool. What I wish is a test track for performance tuning, it's strange that they bragged about the blue print thing that much but forgot to add a test track where you can test out your performance tuning. I wish they would add this in the first patch (should one be needed, this is the first NFS that I think doesn't need a patch to fix bugs, which is nice. But, I still want the extra cars [look at the game directory, loads of cars that aren't activated] and a test track please).
