Asian markets calm to positive. Monday may be a good day for THQI. Re advertising. Advertising is tough for retail products in this price range and this number of units. It is tough to make it pay. Point of sale is another matter. But this takes a lot of presence in the store. As THQI becomes a more significant factor re market share they will have more clout re POS. Brand recognition by the retailers would help them in this and also make it easier to get the message across to the consumer.

Wade: Again it must be a Regional thing or I dont watch the right TV Channels at the right time becuase I havent seen any of the ads. I did mention an article in my Newspaper about the Nintendo Van and the "plug" on WCW. However, I read the Newspaper form Cover to Cover and I dont know if everybody in the City read the "Lifestyle" Section that day and in fact I know of many who only read the "Comic" section in that section. Usually advertising is a small percentage of the Budget. If it is a large percentage then you could have problems.Again I mention the II magazine and their errors and ancient history reports regarding THQI.This could be construed as a form od advertising and "free" to THQI but does anyone want to estimate the Potential Damage from it?I know that THQI received E-mail on it and every one that wrote got the same "form letter" type answer in return that basically said nothing.
