UK Video Game Chart: UFC sees off inFamous

By James Orry - 01/06/2009 - 12:53pm GMT

Second week at the top for THQ's mixed martial arts title.

Chart Track reports that THQ's UFC 2009: Undisputed has held onto the No.1 position, despite a 42 per cent drop compared to week one sales.

Nintendo's Pokemon Platinum also holds at No.2, while EA Sports Active saw a 42 per cent increase in sales, but wasn't able to better its No.3 position from last week. Guitar Hero: Metallica is the highest placed new release at No.4, closely followed by PS3 exclusive superhero title, inFamous, at No.5. SEGA's Virtua Tennis 2009 also enters the chart at No.8.

The week's only other Top 40 new entry is Warner's Terminator Salvation, just missing-out on a Top 10 place at No.11.

Look out for strong new entries next week from Red Faction: Guerrilla and The Sims 3, with the likes of Fuel, Star Ocean: The Last Hope and Sacred 2 also looking for chart entries.

ghostdog25	4 1 In response to Article » Go to 's original post you guys make me sick on here. here we go again with this 360 fanboyism stuff. YES I own both consoles but there's some stuff I'm tired of reading. Now out of all those games on here... you guys had to MAKE SURE to say... "UFC sees off inFAMOUS". What a dumb way to title an article that has 20 games on the list. inFAMOUS is number 5 as an EXCLUSIVE... EXCLUSIVE is the keyword. UFC is a MULTIPLATFORM GAME how in the hell could it not beat out inFAMOUS when you got PS3 and 360 owners buying the game!!!??? Also... I had to use the word "FANBOYISM" because out of all the games... you made sure to compare the #1 spot to a PS3 exclusive which is the #5 spot. Your point in doing that? Report Reply

There's no reason for them to title the article this UNLESS they are FANBOYS. 20 games on the list. Why couldn't it say, "UFC sees off all other games", "UFC is still the #1 seller"? It had to be UFC vs Sony's Exclusive. Utter dumbness! I didn't see an article on here that said... "Grand Theft Auto IV still sells more than Gears of War 2". Gears is Exclusive GTA IV is multiplat.... it would make sense. They are simply hating on the PS3. I bet you that everyone hypes the hell out of Prototype when it comes out... JUST BECAUSE IT'S MULTIPLATFORM AND INFAMOUS IS AN EXCLUSIVE. I can read it now, "PROTOTYPE SELLS MORE THAN INFAMOUS"! Duuuuuuh it's MULTIPLATFORM! Report Reply

ghostdog25	2 1 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Yeah ALSO... lets not forget, not counting the Wii, inFAMOUS is the ONLY exclusive on that list (between 360 and PS3)... and to be #5 out of 20, as an exclusive, is pretty darn good to me. Report Reply

Karlius	0 1 In response to Article » Go to 's original post You are clearly both as moronic as each other. The reason that the headline reads UFC (in its second week with a 45% sales slump week on week) out sold the game release of the week infamous. There is no jibe. There is no attempt at malice. The fact that it's a PS3 exclusive is irrelevant. The bigger fact is if you divide the sales by half of what it had last week it still out sold the game. 2 consoles divided by 2 equals 1. So if the both games were released last week UFC divided by 2 or 50% of sales would still have out sold by the 100% of total sales for infamous and over. Sales tend to slump in supplementary weeks unless of price cuts or major hype. So the fact the report says that the game out sold a what appears as good a game as Infamous seems to be bares no relevance to the exclusivity. Who says you get to discount the Wii or DS their exclusives also out sold the game. And if you go back to the sales of Gears of War 2 I think you'll find that it got to the number one spot. So my friends your the fan boys and your obvious paranoia of your consoles ability to sell games is clearly evident. Get a grip! The game did OK but obviously not that great first week sales lets hope things pick up.Last edited on Mon 1 June 2009 by Karlius Report Reply
