In a special message to investors, THQ Inc. CEO Brian Farrell
announced that the new mixed martial arts title, UFC Undisputed,
has shipped over two million copies worldwide. He added that
he is "very pleased with the sell through," of those copies.
The game released in North America on May 19th.
On their May 7th conference call, Farrell had noted that pre
orders were strong and demonstration downloads showed high demand.
In anticipation of the title's success THQ stock is up 99% in
the last 30 days, from $3.43 on May 3rd to $6.83 at the close of
the market on June 2nd.
In his message to investors yesterday, Farrell also noted that
UFC would be an annual franchise similar to WWE, "so you can do the
math," he said.
