In the base case scenario, I also expect that FIFA Online 4 may be successful in China as it was all over the world. If nothing very meaningful changes inside the company’s distribution channels, this level of sales growth is achievable. EA will deliver sales growth close to 7%, which is very moderate for EA.

Most analysts are expecting sales growth to be equal to 18%-7% from 2021 to 2024. Market estimates are also quite optimistic.
