It hasnāt been the best of years for Electronic Arts, but the mega-publisher can take solace in one key area: theyāve returned to the top of the summit in the European market.
Having been the #1 publisher in the worldās second-biggest market for years, EA were displaced in 2008 by Nintendo, but have regained top spot this year off the strong performance of titles such as EA Sports Active, Dragon Age, Need For Speed: Shift and The Sims 3.
Oh, and FIFA 10, which EAās Jens Uwe Intat says controls ā75 per cent of the football marketā. Which in Europe, equals mega-bucks.
