Regarding Star Wars:

From the story on the acquisition of Rushware.

>>Rushware's publishing subsidiary, Softgold, recently announced that it has signed a 21-month
agreement to continue distributing the PC and PlayStation products developed and published by
LucasArts Entertainment Co. LLC in German-speaking Europe, including the upcoming products
based on ''Star Wars: Episode One -- The Phantom Menace.''<<

Also From the street.com article:http://fnews.yahoo.com/street/98/12/18/valley_981218.html

..And there's more to come. Next spring, THQ will release not only a GameBoy color version of the
Rugrats game but also a GameBoy version of a game based on the much-anticipated new Star
Wars movie, Episode I: The Phantom Menace. <<

Andy, anyone--

What's the competition look like in January? By this, I mean does any other title have a shot at keeping WCW Thunder out of the top spot for console sales in January? Last year Resident Evil 2 (I think it was 2) held off WCW Nitro during both Jan. and Feb. Meanwhile, Acclaim got the number one spot with Warzone, partly by releasing it in the summer. So what can stop us in January?
