You don't have to take my word for this if you don't believe me, but the number was $1.2 million and using Barozi's pie-chart of breakdown of a $60 game, it was ~50k copies to break even from that.
If you need to see it I'll have to dig through my old posts to find it.
The problem for EA at the moment is, they're not even hitting that 50k figure to break even; let alone make a profit which is the goal.
