EA's FIFA 10 has hit the million mark in a new record time and obviously this has made EA very confident that their title has indeed triumphed. Apparently over 33 million games of FIFA have already been played online in Europe since its release!
<blockquote>FIFA 10 celebrated its third week at No.1 in the ELSPA/GfK-ChartTrack All Formats Chart on Monday – holding off major new releases including Sony’s Uncharted 2 and Sega’s Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Winter Games.
The title hit the million mark in record time – three weeks before predecessor FIFA 09 managed the feat.
Marketing manager for EA Sports Trevor Uzice told MCV:
“We are delighted with the success of FIFA 10 to date and thrilled to reach sales of over a million units in just three weeks – a record launch for the FIFA franchise.
“The studio has truly moved the FIFA experience forward and delivered the most complete football product ever released. The commitment to quality stands out: We are the undisputed No.1-rated football title on console with Metacritic scores of 91 per cent on both PS3 and 360. In addition, we’ve seen a staggering 33 million online games played across Europe since launch, which is extremely encouraging. </blockquote>
