Not only is FIFA making EA tons of money at retail, its digital business is expanding as well. Digital net revenue was $115 million for the first half of fiscal 13, which includes FIFA Online 2 and FIFA World Class Soccer that contributed over $50 million to EA's bottom line. This chart, specifically, should make EA's investors quite happy:
