FIFA 12 for Android will only be available via the Xperia Play device when the game is launched later this year.
According to a Sony Ericsson press release, a timed exclusive deal with EA means that FIFA 12 will be released on the Xperia Play during the holiday season, while owners of other Android devices will have to endure a wait until February 21st, 2012.
