UFC 4 sets a launch sales record for the EA UFC seriess

"US NPD SW - UFC 4 was the second best-selling game of the month, setting a new franchise launch month sales record for an Electronic Arts published UFC title. UFC 4 ranked as the third best-selling game of August on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One."

Alot of things played into this imo. There are more people at home and less things to do during Covid. EA marketed the launch a lot better than it did UFC 3 (ESPN 60 min special and a bunch of Twitch streams with well known streamers).

Also the fact that they brought in more casual fans without them losing the large majority of hardcore fans who either bought it or had their wives/GF/cousins/uncles/aunts/moms/dads buy the game for them.

Looks like EA's bet paid off given that the majority of sales and most of the revenue tends to come in around launch month.

Lol. Horrible news.

Hoping the upcoming esports boxing club can give us some realistic combat sport action since EA games are just huge turds.

I heard this story on the news the other day of the hard core UFC gamer whose neighbor bought the game for him, tied him up in his own basement and would only bring him food if he played the game.

He even tried to close his eyes while playing to send a message to EA, but his neighbor said that didn't count and refused him food for the rest of the day.

Poor guy was only untied after he completed career mode.
