Thanks Emmo. <<Smackdown, based on orders, may be the biggest game ever for THQ on Playstation, maybe biggest selling game title ever for Playstation.>> I think what he said was it may be the best selling PSX title from any publisher in Q1, depending on what else comes out. Isn't there another Final Fantasy due? Not sure. But if we can just beat Gran Turismo 2 I'll be happy. <<So THQ could still pull good numbers from N64 in Y2K with help from Nintendo. They see opportunities for mass market games for N64 in 2000. >> Help from Nintendo is key but I think we're getting a lot of help from other publishers too. Ie, they are backing away from the platform so fast that competition should be way down. I'm not even sure if EA is doing Mayhem II on N64. AKLM is only doing six N64 titles all year and they used to be much more N64 dominated than even THQ. And of those six titles, four or five are out by August. I think the only Q4 title AKLM has scheduled is a second ECW game and I wouldn't be surprised if it is canceled. Marc
