Let's not forget that those sales figures (they're the ones listed in the top 100 in sales for the year thread) only included North America and Europe. I haven't seen the worldwide figures anywhere but I can only guess that when you factor in the rest of the world, FIFA's sales lead increases dramatically. FIFA has been the best selling sports game by a wide margin for quite a while.
