Electronic Arts revealed today that the Need for Speed franchises has surpassed 100 Million units sold worldwide – making the Need for Speed franchise the best-selling racing brand in the gaming history. Along with that, the publisher also revealed that the franchise has generated a total of 2.7 billion in sales.

“Few video game franchises ever reach the 100M units mark, so this is a huge honor. We have millions of fans to thank for driving us to this milestone,” said Frank Gibeau, president, EA Games Label. “With the launch of Need for Speed Shift and the upcoming release of Need for Speed Nitro, we hope to continue to deliver the most entertaining, action-packed racing experiences.”

EA also noted that if Need for Speed boxes were laid out end-to-end, it would span 173,609 football fields. With that said, in all, the Need for Speed brand brought us 15 titles for over 14 platforms, which were released in 22 languages in more than 60 countries.

According to GameSpot, in a post-earnings conference call with investors, UbiSoft offered more detail as to how well Shaun White Snowboarding is performing in the market.

Anyway, in the call, CEO Yves Guillemot revealed that the title has achieved sales of 3 million units sold. Later on in the conference, it was revealed by Guillemot, which came as no surprise, that Ubisoft intends to release new installments in the franchise.

“You can expect more Shaun White in the future,” Guillemot plainly told investors. Unfortunately, he didn’t provide a time frame in which the next installment in the Shaun White franchise would release. Currently, the publisher does not have it penciled in for release during its current fiscal year -  runs through March 31, 2010.
