The lights are on
Our economy has produced some rough rides for a lot of people this past year, but for THQ it looks like things are getting bumpier. Gamesindustry.biz recently reported that the game publisher’s stock took a dive of 6.5 percent yesterday. Worse still, since last weeks WWE/Jakks Pacific announcement the company’s stock has taken a dip of 12 per cent. It looks like THQ isn’t alone either. Both EA and Activision Blizzard have seen their shares drop 1.3 percent and 4.3 percent respectively.
Hopefully Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 sells well over the holidays and THQ resolves it’s legal business with Jakk’s soon, because it looks like the company could use a break. We think if THQ just releases another UFC title everything should turn around for them, but we’re only saying that because we want to see another UFC title.
It couldn’t hurt though.

FUTBOL!!!!!!!!11
Time to buy some stock!!
Dude I love THQ, I may go out and spend $60 on SvsR to help out. I've actually been playing Baja: Edge of Control, which THQ published (its pretty awesome and only like $20 now). I was SUPER bummed when Midway went under and I still pray to God that a sequel to Psi-Ops comes out. I don't want to have to go through that with THQ as well...
Yeah i agree with Ben, it wouldn't hurt one bit if THQ released another UFC game... it was just so inovating and kick-a*s!!
This was posted when there big games hadn't even come out. 2010 has a forecast for the gaming industry to rebound with alot of big games coming out.
