EA Announce Q1 2012 Financial Results

David Bryant — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 11:46:20 +0000

We’re not the Financial Times and we’re definitely not bothered about how other EA games are performing financially, but we do of course have a vested interest in our beloved FIFA, which by all accounts has sold like hot cakes. EA have released their preliminary financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended June 30th 2011 and they’re mighty pleased with the results.

Most of the report is as you’d expect mind numbingly dull but because we’re nice we’ll pull out all of the best FIFA highlights just for you:

For the quarter, EA had four of the top 20 selling games in Western markets: Portal 2, Crysis 2, FIFA 11, and Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters.
Life to date, including digital and mobile downloads, FIFA 11 has sold nearly 15 million units, demonstrating strong cross platform performance.
EA Games Label and EA SPORTS garnered 148 award nominations and 19 wins at E3. Winners included Mass Effect 3, Battlefield 3, STAR WARS: The Old Republic, FIFA 12, SSX, Need for Speed: The Run, Kingdoms of Amalur:Reckoning, Madden NFL 12, and NHL 12.
FIFA 11′s digital revenue as of July 26th 2011 was $64 million through Q1 FY2012.
That’s forecast to grow a further $7 million through Q4 FY2012.

So there you have it, a little inside knowledge on the financial performance of FIFA 11. We’ve added the most relevant screenshots below and if anyone could tell us who is still buying digital products for FIFA 09, we’d appreciate it…

FIFA 10 vs FIFA 11

I love my comparison pics, I really do.

The guys at VGZ have done some, comparing last year to this year. They’re particularly useful when the differences are subtle, and at first a large improvement isn’t realised instantly.

FIFA 10 Stadium Pack Download?

This couldn’t be true… Could it?

Over at PlayStationLifeStyle.net, in their regular look at rumoured PSN store content, they have predicted the launch of a FIFA 10 DLC stadium pack. Click here for the article.

Now it was predicted for April 1st, so it’s most likely an attempted April fool’s joke – and two days later there’s no sign of it. But the thing is, it was written on the day before April 1st (which would make the writer the fool by the established April fool’s joke rules), and it’s something we would all be hugely interested in.

Here’s hoping it’s true and it’s just been delayed…
