And I’m not talking about the NFL.  The news has gone around and I thought I’d make mention of it for those who missed it since it’s such a big score especially for the 360 soccer crowd.  Both Pro Evolution Soccer 6 and Fifa 07 will enjoy some timed exclusivity on the Xbox 360.  The only place you’ll be able to enjoy some next-gen football action is on the Xbox 360 in the coming 12 months.

“We’re very pleased to be bringing the next-generation edition of Pro Evolution Soccer 6 exclusively to Xbox 360 until late summer 2007,” said Hans-Joachim Amann, Head of European Product Management at Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “The power of Xbox 360 takes our critically-acclaimed franchise to new heights of realism, playability, and fun. We know true football fans will enjoy the new experiences that Pro Evolution Soccer 6 on Xbox 360 will offer.”

“FIFA 07 on Xbox 360 will be a must-have for football and gaming fans,” said Hugues Ricour, FIFA 07 producer, Electronic Arts. “The advanced capabilities of Xbox 360 and a completely new game engine mean that FIFA 07 reaches new heights of responsiveness, playability, graphical and game-play realism, and fun. Innovative online capabilities make the most of Xbox Live® and bring even more realism to football fans. The only place gamers can enjoy the next-generation edition of FIFA 07 is on Xbox 360—we love developing for this thing!”
