While Modern Warfare 2 emerged as 2009ās biggest-selling game globally, in Europe, it was a close-run thing, Activisionās blockbuster shooter only just edging out EAās FIFA 10.
Granted, this information comes fromā¦Electronic Arts, the gameās developers, but seeing as they get access to complete, accurate sales figures (something the general public does not when it comes to the European market), in this instance weāll take their word for it.
In an interview with MCV, EAās Jens Uwe Intat ā an early front-runner for games industry name of the year ā said that not only was FIFA āneck and neckā with Modern Warfare 2 in terms of European sales, but that EA now controls ā75% of the football spaceā on the continent.
If he just means FIFA vs Pro Evo, thatās an impressive number. If he means FIFA vs Pro Evo vs Football Manager vs Champ Manager, itās super impressive.
