If youre into lazy days at the beach then this news update isnt for you. But, if your idea of a fun Summer consists of pwning noobs in online tournaments and winning boat loads of money for your efforts, then Virgin Gaming has got you covered this Summer like a well placed gob of sun screen.
Electronic Arts detailed the sales milestones reached by FIFA 10, Madden NFL 10, The Sims 3, Battlefield 1943, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and Need for Speed Shift during the 2010 fiscal year.

FIFA 10 is one of the best selling games of this console generation, with sales amassing over 9 million units sold. No doubt the January transfer period in the English leagues was busy and EA Sports wants to update their football title to mirror the real game.
