EA Sports’ hot streak at retail continues to ride strong; FIFA 12 sold 3.2 million copies in its first week, the label reports, citing internal analysis. That means FIFA 12‘s launch was bigger than Gears of War 3‘s
That’s a global figure accounting for interest in the world’s most popular sport; it’s also a multiplatform title, where Gears 3 is a console exclusive (selling three million copies). But it’s also an impressive 23 per cent better than FIFA‘s first-week sales a year ago, and they set a record at the time.
FIFA joins August 30’s Madden NFL 12 and September 13’s NHL 12 in posting double-digit percentage increases in sales this year. The game has also sold another 879,000 copies the iPhone and iPad game that released at the same time as the retail launch.
