Well its not far off, really.
FIFA does 12-15 Million a Year on consoles at retail.
The Sims as a franchise had done over 150 Million, as of 2011. This doesnt include the mass popularity of it on Facebook, which has over a Million people playing per day.
Battlefield 3 sold over 16 Million units, Battlefield 4 is on its way to 10 Million.
Need for Speed as a franchise had done over 140 Million, as of 2009. Will be pushing 160 Million as a franchise now, probably more. Does ~5 Million per Year, or more.

Or if you actually had a legit counter, or proof. Sales and social media tell us that EA games are more than a match for Nintendo games in terms of popularity. Sales tell us that EA games are that popular. FIFA as a franchise is arguably bigger than anything Nintendo has.

I missed that. Went for "Super Mario", thinking it would be under that name. The official tick of approval is on both.
