LikeUbisoft,THQ is evaluating its moniesfor 2007 and 2008. Also like Ubisoft, business is good, with the company increasing its revenue guidance from $490 million to $509 million (thanks in no small part to strongWWE Smackdown vs. RawandMX vs. ATV Untamedsales).
The company does, however, indicate that a few dollars were lost on “underperformance” of certain titles, citingStuntman: Ignition,Ratatouille, andConanamong them. As a result, THQ has decided not to pursue itsStuntmanandJuicedIPs, as part of its “quality initiatives.” Good call, guys.
Additionally, THQ has also confirmed the following cancellations:Destroy All Humans: Billy Willy Unleashedfor the PlayStation 2 and — wait for it —Frontlines: Fuel of Warfor the PlayStation 3. Wereportedon the “rumored” cancellation of the latter game, which was later met withconflictingreportsaround the net. While I refuse to outright say “We told you so,” I will take this moment to post a video of the Timex Social Club classic “Rumors,” which you can see after the jump.
Just because I can.
