UFC 2010 Sales Take Another Dive

The June NPD video game sales numbers have just been released today, and UFC 2010 once again finds itself in a poor position.

The full summary of May and June NPD sales can be found here. May’s NPD data had the Xbox and PS3 versions of UFC Undisputed 2010 as the #4 and #5 most popular games sold respectively, but this month the title falls all the way to #8 and #10.

1. Red Dead Redemption (360) – 582.6K
2. Super Mario Galaxy 2 – 548.4K
3. Red Red Redemption (PS3) – 380.3K
4. New Super Mario Bros. Wii – 200.9K
5. Just Dance – 174.8K
6. Wii Fit Plus
7. Toy Story 3 (DS)
8. UFC 2010: Undisputed (360)
9. LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (Wii)
10. UFC 2010: Undisputed (PS3)

For a franchise that has already had loads of financial disappointments this year this isn’t a huge surprise, but THQ and the UFC cannot be happy in the least. At this rate UFC 2010, which was only just released May 25th, will be completely outside of the top 10 in the July NPD figures.
