Forums - Sales - SimCity sells 1.6m, FIFA 13 does 14.5m and EA profits (and more!)

I think they will find Simcity sales drop off fast, unlike previous games having an evergreen life.

Activition and Take Two report this week also, I guess we can continue to discuss how these companies are suffering by not investing heavily into nintendo.



Oh my god 14.5M for Fifa 13. What a god damn beast.



Ea seems to be doing really well. I wonder how below dead space and crysis are to there expected sales though.

They mentioned during the conference call that dead space and crysis were the weak sports in the quarter, how below they will never tell, probably substantially

That isn't too good for dead space. If I remember correctly the future of that franchise depended on it meeting the sales goals. It could just be a rumor though, not sure.

we could safely pressume that dead space was fell short by millions, since they wanted the game to sell 5 freaking million

Isn't dead space a relatively popular franchise though. How much did the previous games sell?

Yea the first was popular and a nice survior horror game that was morphed to a space fps and im sure lost alot of its audience along the way.  Dont know why companies constantly go against the grain on games that proved to be highly successful.

if i remember correctly around 2 million. and it wasnt that big a franchise, it was a third person space horror game, it certainly wasnt a mass market game.
