UFC knocks out Punch Out!!

I guess there was a reason why Little Mac stayed out of the ring as long as he did. Despite Nintendo's amped up marketing campaign, Punch Out!! for Wii only sold 150,000 copies according to the May NPD. That number may not seem too shabby, but UFC sold more than 1 million copies.

Ah.

Not much to really say there. There seems to be a sad trend happening with Wii titles. Excitebots: Trick Racing and Punch Out!! are both excellent titles, yet somehow they aren't nearly as popular as they should be. Maybe the casual are just fine with Wii Sports' boxing entry, and the hardcore are all about HD graphics. Either way, they are both missing out.
