FIFA Soccer 09 has sold over 1.2 million copies in it’s first week on store shelves in Europe, making it the fastest selling FIFA title yet according to publisher Electronic Arts. And that’s no mean feat, as the highly regarded FIFA Soccer series started WAY back in 1993!
EA Sports President and beloved company figurehead Peter Moore had this to day about the sales breakthrough, “FIFA Soccer 09’s great kick-off is a testament to our loyal fans across Europe who simply can’t wait to get their hands on the game. This is our fastest selling FIFA game of all time and it’s rewarding to see the game so high on the list of must-have titles this holiday.”
The wait for North American fans is nearly upon us, as FIFA Soccer ’09 is scheduled for release on these shores in four days, on October 14th. So be sure to check it out and see what all the fuss is about. Here’s a trailer for the game.
