Looks like our good ol' buddy Herb isn't willing to give it a rest: Midway Disputes THQ's Claim By Herb Greenberg Senior Columnist 3/6/00 6:30 AM ET Gotta love it: Was doing some research on Midway Games (MWY:NYSE - news - boards) and ran across a Feb. 1 press release, from Midway, disputing THQ's (THQI:Nasdaq - news - boards) claim that THQ is the fourth-biggest video game maker. "Another industry participant incorrectly reported on Jan. 24, 2000 that it ranked fourth in video game console sales and second in third-party video game console publishing in 1999," Midway reported. Midway then quoted an official of NPD Group, which tracks the data, as saying: "Strong sales of the NFL Blitz 2000 and Ready 2 Rumble boxing franchises, as well as sales from its extensive product catalog, helped Midway earn the number four position in the overall video game software market." THQ officials didn't return our call, and the NPD official quoted in Midway's press release couldn't be reached for comment. Old news Herb. Get with the program.
