Dropping knowledge about its
Q2 earnings for this year, THQ has revealed that
UFC 2009 Undisputed and
Red Faction: Guerrilla have both become multi-million dollar franchises for the publisher. With these two, along with a game based on the recent Pixar film
Up, THQ enjoyed three of the top ten best-sellers for the month of June.
UFC 2009 Undisputed wrestled the competition to the ground throughout
May and June, shipping a combined 2.9 million units worldwide.
Red Faction: Guerrilla also fared well, shipping a combined one million units across the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms. Not only did
THQ dominate the US in June, but the publisher enjoyed the top spot in the UK June charts with everyone's favorite
testicle-punching simulator,
UFC 2009.
