    Sales of UFC 2010 Undisputed have been very disappointing for THQ this year, with them having fallen 59% year-over-year for the first month. A number of factors for the tumble can be contemplated however THQ believes it is due to the release of Red Dead Redemption, which crushed with huge sales. It released one week before UFC 2010. In an interview with MCV, THQ's UK marketing director had the following to say:  "Our sales were softer than where we would have liked them to be," Rooke told...

    Last month it was reported that UFC 2010 Undisputed was selling below expectations. Even considering that no one could have imagined just how severely sales had dropped off from the series debut of UFC 2009. Now the official sales numbers from NPD have come through to make it apparent that not only did it sell below expectations but relatively speaking it bombed. In May UFC 2010 sold 222,100 copies on the 360 and 192,300 on the PS3 for a total of 414,400 coming in 4th and 5th place respecti...

    The UFC 2010 Undisputed patch that arrived earlier this week for the PS3 went live for the 360 today. Response towards the patch from the PS3 side has ranged from being marginally positive to largely indifferent. As suspected the issues at release seems to have really dampened excitement around the title in general. Despite the relatively impressive turnaround on the patch taking just a month it may end up being too little too late. Continue on for the patch list which highlights the main a...

    The highly anticipated patch for UFC 2010 Undisputed arrived on PS3 today and the expectation is that it will be out on the 360 later this week or early next week. All things considered a month turnaround on a significant patch of this nature is an impressive and hopefully the response is a sign of things to come from the series. Despite that it will probably do little to wipe away the memories of all the problems that plagued gamers around release. Continue on for the patch list which high...

    Last year UFC 2009 broke onto the scene with huge sales numbers exceeding even the most optimistic of expectations. The game went on to be the highest selling sports title in the US behind only Madden 10. UFC 2009 seemed to catch gamers by surprise with its demo and then an impressive final product (particularly for a first attempt) which and in turn led to fantastic word-of-mouth carrying it beyond just hardcore UFC fans. UFC 2010 Undisputed arrived without the benefit of that surprise factor...
