EA Sports announced recently that over 500 million online games have been played since June 2008 with their products. This means over 2.2 million EA Sports games are played online every day, an increase of over 175 percent over last year.

"The massive migration to online gaming has transformed the video game landscape, and this week's 500 millionth online EA Sports game highlights the radical shift that we've helped pioneer in the industry," said Peter Moore, president of EA Sports . "Online gameplay allows real-time competitions with fans from around the world who speak the global language of sports. EA Sports is committed to providing personal access to the emotion of sports by continuing to create immersive online features, compelling new downloadable content and daily real-time stats updates."

Six EA Sports games have over 500,000 registered online users, with Madden NFL 09 and FIFA 09 clocking in with over 2.4 million apiece. Since Summer 2008, users have logged over 4 billion minutes of EA Sports games and play roughly 35 years of games each day.
