17/08/2009

IndustryGamers: As we continue our look into the top selling games of 2009, we're examining what made THQ's UFC 2009 Undisputed such a success for the publisher. We recently spoke with EEDAR executive chairman Greg Short, who presented his new findings at Ayzenberg Group's [a]list Summit this past week.

Similar to Capcom's Resident Evil 5 launch earlier this year, marketing clearly played a big role in the success of UFC, but that wasn't the only factor. Short explained that UFC's rise in popularity as a sport and the fact that a game hasn't been made in years made consumers very eager for the title.
