EA reports 31 million-sellers for fiscal '09, Wii sales nearly double

Reporting its earnings for fiscal year 2009, Electronic Arts has revealed several interesting statistics. First and foremost, the company reports that it had 31 titles that managed to sell over 1 million copies and adds that FIFA 09, Madden NFL 09 and Need for Speed Undercover all pushed more than 5 million units. Spore sold over 2 million units and recently saw user-created creatures exceed 100 million.

EA also noted that its EA Partners publishing branch had its best year so far, lead by Left 4 Dead and both Rock Band titles. In fact, Rock Band was EA's highest revenue producing title of the year. Furthermore, the company's revamped commitment to the Wii seems to be paying off, with Wii games accounting for 14% of EA's non-GAAP revenue, up from 8% the previous year. Apparently Peter Moore's assertion doesn't apply to all EA games.

On the mobile and online front, the company announced that its Pogo casual games service now has 1.8 million paying subscribers. EA's non-GAAP digital services revenue, which includes both wireless and online software, sat at $429 million for the year, a 27% increase over the previous year. EA Mobile's non-GAAP revenue went up 24% to $189 million. The company also touted the launch of an open beta for FIFA Online 2 in China, marking EA's first online game in the region.
