JULY 2, 2009 • UFC 2009 Undisputed has fared well in Europe and stayed on the top 10 in United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Sweden and Finland for several weeks. In several smaller markets such as the Nordic the title has performed better than the local distributor expected. The increasing popularity of the sport and the performance of the demo paved way for the game.
Impact: UFC 2009 Undisputed gives THQ a much-needed blockbuster. This should also give THQ leverage in the upcoming battle versus Electronic Arts’ MMA game. Without the official UFC license, EA relies on unsigned stars and veterans.
