According to EA, FIFA 12 is already the biggest release in the entire history of sports games and the number one video game launch this year, according to recent figures from the gaming giants!

The latest product in the FIFA franchise has certainly proved a hit amongst gamers, with the title becoming third biggest all formats launch ever in the UK, just behind Black Ops and Modern Warefare 2.

“based on internal estimates” since its September 27 debut in North America and September 30 worldwide, FIFA 12 has so far sold an estimated 3.2 million units across all consoles worldwide, “making it the biggest launch in the history of sports videogames and the biggest videogame launch of 2011 to date.”

“FIFA 12 is a stunning achievement by our team at EA Canada,” said Andrew Wilson, Executive Vice-President of EA Sports. “The massive FIFA online community has overwhelmingly connected to the new live services in the game, including EA Sports Football Club, and we intend to keep them engaged all season long as FIFA 12 follows the heartbeat of the football season.”
