Wade, Sales does not a good game make. Look at Ultima Online. Look at Frogger. Bad reviews abounded for Frogger yet good marketing saved it....more than saved it I would say. Street Fighter Turbo was a huge seller, yet it offered relatively nothing new. It marked the decline of that brand name. Expectations for game sales are not always correct. Just like in the toy biz, no one really knows what will be a hit. Maybe someone will come out with kickboxing this year and wrestling becomes passe. What then? Retailers sit on huge stacks of inventory and THQI's earnings tumble. I don't know if WCW will be hot this year or not. What I am saying is that there are too many assumptions being made about THQI's earnings. Tom C
