FIFA 13 brings in $100 million in net revenue
In their financial reports released today, EA has shown that FIFA is still a very powerful franchise. According to the reports, FIFA 13 sold more than its predecessor, totaling over 12 million units through the third quarter. While the FIFA brand brought in over $230 million, including FIFA World Class Soccer and FIFA Online 2, FIFA 13 alone raked in $100 million in the same quarter. I guess everyone still loves fast kicking, low scoring, and ties! You know what they say, if it's good enough for Snoop Dogg Lion, it's good enough for anyone. Did you know?
