EA’s 2008 million-sellers: Left 4 Dead, Rock Band 2, Mirror’s Edge, Dead Space, FIFA 09
During Electronic Art’s recent conference call they announced some very good news about their late 2008 releases for some of their biggest new IP’s in years.
EA revealed that Left 4 Dead, Rock Band 2, Mirror’s Edge, Dead Space and FIFA 09 all sold over one million copies with data from last year (up till December 31st).
Specifically, Left 4 Dead sold 1.8 million copies (EA published the physical copies while it was digitally available from Valve themselves on Steam), Rock Band 2 sold 1.9 million copies, FIFA 09 sold an incredible 7.8 million copies while EA’s new intellectual properties did well for themselves as well as Mirror’s Edge and Dead Space both sold over a million copies each. Which is very good news that the original IP’s at least did well, even if they didn’t do gangbusters. But still a million copies is nothing to scoff at.
