At this point in the cycle I'm more interested in how many are left on the shelf than how they get there. Now is the time most retailers to start discounting sales in preparation for annual inventories. I not sure how this works but THQ keeps a resource pool that is kept back from earnings to cover charge back expenses against to cover discounts/credits to retailers. I'm sure I didn't state this correctly but it is my understanding that non-sales somehow impact earnings. Could someone with a better understanding of this process explain how earning will be impacted by how much inventory is left over. Thanks, Kevin
