FIFA 09 has sold over 1.2 million copies in Europe in one week.

The astonishing number makes the 09 edition the fastest selling FIFA game of all time.

“FIFA Soccer 09’s great kick-off is a testament to our loyal fans across Europe who simply can’t wait to get their hands on the game,” said Peter Moore, President of EA Sports.

“FIFA Soccer 09 is EA’s best soccer offering to date featuring game modes such as Be A Pro: Seasons, 10 vs. 10 Online Team Play, FIFA 09 “Clubs” and the adidas Live Season service. This is our fastest selling FIFA game of all time and it’s rewarding to see the game so high on the list of must-have titles this holiday.”

In the past we might have said, ‘yeah, well, it’s only sold well because of advertising or the brand name’, and then scuttled off to play PES. But things have changed. FIFA 09 is the best FIFA game ever made. Find out why over at our Xbox 360 and PS3 review here.
