How does the PES 2009 scene look on console?

At PES6 times the scene was really big, even bigger than FIFA on Console. Thanks to PES2008 it has shrunk, the same goes for PES2009. Nevertheless, the old PES console veterans are still active.

When I compare a PES2009 to a FIFA09 tournament, at FIFA there are many more participants. But half of these participants are casual gamers.

At the smaller PES2009 tournaments you will find almost all hardcore gamers, who practise every day. For now my hope is based on PES2010. I wish that the scene will become as big as PES6 was at that time. Especially as it is such a great game.
