Xbox charts: Fight Night puts down Bulletstorm, Kinect titles on the rise

EA took the top two slots in UK Xbox sales last week, with new contender Fight Night Champion bouncing People Can Fly's Bulletstorm to second place.

Activision's ludicrously strong-selling Call of Duty: Black Ops held its ground at third, months after release.

Some day, a UK top 10 will appear which doesn't have a Call of Duty title in it. And on that day, bacon sarnies will fly themselves to our waiting mouths.

It wasn't all about sweaty biceps and bulging clips, though. Kinect party games were in the pink, with Dance Central inching in at tenth while Kinect Joy Ride and Kinect Sports latched onto sixth and seventh.

EA are actually doing pretty well, even though MOH was a bit of a flop.
EA have 4 titles in the top 10, showing off their dominance.
Activision have 1 killer title - Call of Duty, EA have multiple great titles and it seems EA have fully learnt from their past mistakes.

MoH didnt do to good in reviews and from the beta i thought the game was really shit but im pretty sure it didnt flop either.

r1sh124791d ago

EA said that the game was disappointing in both sales and reviews.

Anyone got Fight Night Champion yet? I played the demo for Fight Night Champion and Bulletstorm, liked the F.N.C demo to a certain extent and thought Bulletstorm was ok at best.

Fight Night Round 5: We Want A New Fight Night Game

It’s been almost a decade since the critically acclaimed Fight Night Champion, the final title in a series of beloved boxing video games from Electronic Arts. Since 2011, the studio has been focused on its mixed martial arts title, UFC, instead. But with the rise of the popularity of boxing again, thanks to fighters like Floyd Mayweather and Tyson Fury, could we possibly have another Fight Night game on the way?

IT'SSSSSSSS FIIIIIIGHT NIIIIIIGHT!!!!
I hope they make it like round four instead of champions but ill take any fight night at this point

They need to go back to the good roots of FN R2 and FN R3. Everything after watered down the formula too much and enabled gimmicks. FNR2&3 are some of the greatest fighting games ever.

3 was fun and you could smash out so many haymakers. But I found 4 more technical and enjoyed it for that too.

navi87435d ago

At least in 3 you had to wind up your shots, it was more skill based as opposed to 4 where you just held down L1 or R1 whilst flicking the analogue stick.

navi87435d ago

Agreed, i played FNR 3 the most on Xbox 360 back in the day and using the analogue sticks to kinda mimic punches thrown was fun af. FNR 4 ruined it by just flicking the analogue stick to throw hooks, felt really unintuitive after the previous games.

They'd ruin it like they do everything these days

In the words of the great Stone Cold Steve Austin Ooooh Hell Yeeeeah!!! lol. Also it would be sweet if EA gave us a new Def Jam Fighting game with a roster of Rappers that's unheard of. Biggie.Pun.Pac.Jam Master Jay.Eminem.JayZ.Eazy E.MGK.Naz. and over 60 of the best rappers ever past and present. One can only hope.

Deebo_slice1358d ago
