FIFA10 breaks record

 

EA announced that FIFA Soccer 10 sold 1.7 million copies through in Europe in the first week. This  means that it became the fastest selling sports game ever and EA's biggest European launch in history.

 

Peter Moore, President of EA Sports stated: We were confident that FIFA Soccer 10 would be a hit, and this week fans across Europe have shown just how much they love this game. We are incredibly proud of FIFA Soccer 10 and this kick-off for great, authentic football competition.

The game may have received tremendously positive critics from many game magazines but its success relies elsewhere. According to EA, since launch, more than 10 million gaming sessions have been played online, with over 155,000 gamers playing online simultaneously during peak playing hours.

FIFA Soccer 10 will be in stores throughout North America on October 20, 2009.
