“Games like Tomb Raider and Resident Evil were really [key],” Jim Ryan said. “It’s one thing to have a marketing aspiration to appeal to 15 to 25-year-olds. It’s another thing to have real substance behind that.”

EA Sports FC 26 was No.1 in Europe for a second week (digital + physical). Sales are down over 20% year-on-year (TGB estimates), but that's due to EA's staggered launch strategy. Silent Hill F is No.2, but sales are down about a 1/3 over Silent Hill 2 www.thegamebusiness.com/p/ea-sports-...
EA Sports FC 26 and Silent Hill F top European charts, but sales are down
Sonic Racing Crossworlds is slow off the starting line
