Like it was ever a contest, for better or worse. I've no time for EA, but they owned the month. Splatoon 3 released on the 8th of September, FIFA 23 released on the 27th September. It had 4 days of sales compared to Splatoon 3 and other games, I say other games, there weren't really many big new releases last month. It absolutely pulverized the competition. It's funny because in Japan the roles are completely reversed.
