Is Madden the top selling sports game?

Is there any site that shows sales figures for sports games overall?

I'm interested in this because I know that FIFA sells a ton of copies in Europe. Does it sell more copies than Madden does or is Madden truly the king when it comes to sales?

Unfortuantely in overall sales (foreign and domestic) I think FIFA outsells WE6 as much as I hate to admit it. I will look for the sales charts on this, but gamespot rans some stories that Fifa was killing WE6 over in Eurpoe right out of the gate.

Yes WE owns Japan. Unfortuantely that is where the dominance abruptly ends. You can go to gamespot.com and do a search on Fifa and Europe sales. They will then list all the UK sales charts by week and all you see is Fifa 2004 followed by chapionship manager 4 which is a simulator developed by Sports Interactive.

Correct me if I am wrong but is it even called Winning Eleven in Europe? I thought it was Pro Evolution. Either way you could not find them on the sales charts.
