Ok, talking about WW performance.

250,000 units are absolutely the worst scenario, and i would be pretty shocked if in the end it sells so low.

If UK is 1% of all sales, the worst Nintendo market, is logical to think the rest of the world is better than this. Let's forget Japan, since is of course a different market (which account for >12% of FIFA sales)...

Markets like Spain, Germany, Italy should easy have better than a 3% of overall sales. France is the best Nintendo market in Europe so there we are probabily looking at 5% at worst.

The America, which is not a big market for FIFA but it still matter, and like France we can easy see 5% or more.

Now, FIFA usually sells in the 15-20 million units lifetime. Just for have a possible scenario:

1% of all sales = 150,000-200,000
2% = 300,000-400,000
3% = 450,000-600,000
4% = 600,000-800,000
5% = 750,000-1,000,000
ecc

I woul say 1 million is very likely all thing considering. I believe 700/800K looks a realistic prediction, and i think EA will be happy with that.

Less than 1 million is, quite honestly, pretty bad. I mean, according to VGC (yea yea VGC numbers but still), FIFA 15 sold 0.65 million.... on the PSVita. The Switch is like 8 times more successful than the PSVita, less than 1 million would be a horrible performance for FIFA 18 on such a successful platform as the Switch.

EDIT: EA might be satisfied, but it's still bad considering it's Fifa on a very successful platform.
