FIFA as a franchise is arguably bigger than anything Nintendo has.

So, are we supposed to ignore the fact that FIFA is a licensed brand, and that the success of these games has a lot to do with the popularity of football around the world ? How would these games sell if EA didn't have exclusive rights to it ?

Personally, I've always prefered Pro Evolution... (and International SuperStar Soccer before it...) That is, until I got tired of football sims, around 2010.

Yeah, it's hard to say that EA deserves any real credit for FIFA, aside from being able to wrangle the license. Suit-skills are not dev-skills.
