Worldwide Sensation: Sales Of EA Sports' "FIFA 11" Title Are Nearing 15 Million

Sales of EA Sports' "FIFA 11" have approached 15 million units, when combining physical sales and digital mobile downloads, according to a company quarterly earnings report issued late yesterday. In May, "FIFA" sales had been reported at 12 million. EA, meanwhile, reported total company net income for its fiscal first quarter of $221M, more than double the $96M for the same quarter a year ago, and up from $151M for the prior quarter. As it did in May, the latest quarterly report also listed four as-yet-unannounced EA Sports titles to be released between January and March '12. One of them will definitely be the next version of "Tiger Woods PGA Tour." Speculation on the rest has included new arcade-style iterations of its "FIFA" and "NFL" franchises and possibly another digital MLB product. The company in a separate announcement said yesterday more than 700,000 units of "NCAA Football 12" have been sold in its first two weeks of retail release, up 17% year-over-year.
