EA Sports has announced FIFA '09 has sold over one million copies since its European launch.

Over 1.2 million copies of the game have been sold in its first week of release, making it the fastest selling game in the history of the franchise.

"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 EA Sports' Peter Moore. "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."

FIFA '09 is due to launch in the US and Asia on 14 October for the PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360, with the Wii and DS versions set to follow two weeks later.
