THQ Profits Down Due to Flat UFC Sales and Lack of Red Faction

by Brian Leahy, Aug 09, 2010 4:30pm PDT

THQ announced its Q1 2011 earnings today, earning $149.4 million in net sales for the quarter ending June 30, 2011 down from $243.5 million last year. Last year's Q1 performance was strong with the release of both Red Faction: Guerrilla and UFC 2009 Undisputed.

UFC Undisputed 2010 failed to eclipse the original.

Though UFC Undisputed 2010 sold 2.7 million units, the original game sold 2.9 million units in the same time-frame. While 2.7 million units is nothing to laugh at, it is likely THQ expected to build upon the franchise with higher sales.

Buried within the report is the fact that Ninja Gaiden designer Tomonobu Itagaki's first title from Valhalla Game Studios, Devil's Third, will be released within THQ's fiscal year 2012 spanning April 2012 until March 2013.

I am really worried about the 40K MMO. I really don't think THQ has the resources to do it right and I don't trust Vigil. I don't see how a studio that tooled up for a console game like Darksiders can take 40K into the MMO scene. It's too late now but I really think THQ would have been better off funding Relic to do a Mass Effect style RPG set in 40K rather than greenlight Vigil to do an MMO. Blizzard is the only one who has the resources to pull of a 40K MMO.

I would have bought the UFC game if it had been released on PC.

Oh, and then there's Metro 2033, but I imagine that its sales were a bit disappointing.

Strange that Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising wasn't mentioned anywhere. It was released in March.

Maybe they don't count expansions?
