EA's Maxis and Redword Shores studios took fourth and ninth places in the territory as well. EA Canada is Electronic Arts' largest development studio and currently leads development for Wing Commander, Need for Speed, James Bond, FIFA, SSX and numerous other major franchises. Their most recent NFS release, Carbon, sold more than eight million copies during the fourth quarter, and FIFA 07 has sold more than six million so far.
