Bengt Lemne 5 August 2009

EA have released a financial report for the first quarter of their fiscal 2009 (April-June) and two top performers were The Sims 3 and EA Sports Active. The Sims 3 released in the beginning of June managed an impressive 3.7 million in sales, while EA Sports Active became the company's most successful Wii title to date with 1.8 million in sales.

The first expansion of The Sims 3 was announced this week and the 3.7 million is probably just the tip of the iceberg in terms of life time sales. The Sims franchise has sold in excess of 100 million copies worldwide.
