Having been the #1 (http://kotaku.com/tag/1/) publisher in the world's second-biggest market for years, EA were displaced in 2008 by Nintendo, but have regained top spot this year off the strong performance of titles such as EA Sports Active, Dragon Age, Need For Speed: Shift and The Sims 3.
Oh, and FIFA 10, which EA's Jens Uwe Intat says controls "75 per cent of the football market". Which in Europe, equals mega-bucks.
