100 million Need for Speed games sold

21 October 2009

EA has announced that the Need for Speed franchise has crossed the 100 million sold copies mark. This makes it the best selling racing franchise ever, and it has earned a whopping $2.7 billion since it launched back in 1994.

Frank Gibeau, EA Games Label president noted “Few video game franchises ever reach the 100 million units mark so this is a huge honor with the launch of Need for Speed SHIFT and the upcoming release of Need for Speed NITRO, we hope to continue to deliver the most entertaining, action-packed racing experiences.”

The most recent Need for Speed game, NFS: Shift marks a welcome return to form for a franchise which many were losing faith in.
