May NPD: UFC on top while DS, PS2 take a beating

THQ's probably quite happy it decided to return to the MMA ring (soon to be joined by EA Sports) with UFC 2009 Undisputed selling 1.01 million units across Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Other games didn't have it quite so good in their debut month, notably Punch-Out!!, which moved 150K copies on Wii.

DS and PS2 were both down, but May was an up month for PS3 with sales rising 3 percent. Xbox 360 sales remained unchanged over April.

-DS: 634K

407K (-39%)
-Wii: 290K

50K (-15%)
-Xbox 360: 175K -- 175K (0%)
