Not disclosed

EA never disclosed a budget or revenue figure, and no worldwide unit total was published. The available data is chart position: it was the fourth best-selling PC game in the US in March 2006 (with the Collector's Edition separately at eighth), and still twelfth in April 2006 despite an industry-wide 10% sales decline that month. In the UK it earned an ELSPA Silver sales certification for passing 100,000 copies.
