Four quick notes: Rugrats has already sold 25 copies in some stores. For a "dead" title, we're seeing Quest showing up on lots of store shelves and moving a nice amount of copies. Since THQ accounted for surprisingly little Quest last quarter and shelves seemed to be mostly empty of this title as recently as October, I wonder if this is a re-order that will add some nice change to the quarterly eps? EB's latest mailing has a $5 off coupon for any N64 game priced $39.95 or less. Not a lot of suspects fit that bill, but WCW/NWO is one of them. Should keep sales humming. (Side-note: I'd be very interested to see how sales of WCW Nitro PSX are doing.) The mailing also has the usual THQ suspects (Revenge, Nitro PC, Rugrats, etc.). But even better, it also shows the Prima strategy guide for Nitro 64. This book is due before Christmas which makes one wonder if there will be a further Christmas surprise for THQI investors. Ie, 500,000 copies of Nitro 64 hitting the beach. Hmmm. Marc
