Looks like WCW Nitro PC has been moved up. EB now says Dec. 1. Previously I believe it had been moved to Dec. 11. Great news. ebworld.com Interestingly, it also lists a Nitro 64 strategy guide due Dec. 23. Will we get a surprise Christmas release of Nitro 64? I doubt it (early January seems more likely) but it might happen since the strategy guides usually trail the game release by a bit. Farrell has a lot of latitude to play with the numbers, just due to the way that video game companies do their accounting. I think we can count on THQ showing earnings growth over the year-previous quarter for a long time to come. I also agree with Tom Seltzer's comment that even if THQ makes less money from WWF than from WCW, it would deserve a higher multiple as this is a 10-year franchise now and thus a very steady income stream. Ie, ERTS-like. Of course THQ is going to have the money rolling in that will allow it to buy more properties and grow even faster. Pretty sweet, when you think about it. Marc Edit: It gets even better. gamelord.com shows WCW Nitro PC as due Nov. 30. Wouldn't surprise me to see a few copies make it into stores for the big shopping weekend after Thanksgiving.
