Try more like $1 a unit

Star War: Rogue Squadron tops UK N64 Chart. Although Rogue Squadron is not published by Rushmore but future Star War titles will definitely help THQ to gain market acceptance in Europe. Interestingly, WCW/NWO Revenge able to get a 4th place behind Zelda and Turok2. I guess European aren't particular interested into wrestling but they really miss fighting game. There is no decent fighting title yet for N64.

Dreamcast price fell to around US$250 in HK (was as high as US$800 to $900 for initial Japanese version). All my friends say that Dreamcast is the best game console. It bent the superior 3D graphic of N64 and the detail of PSX thanks to CD-ROM based design. If Sega can avoid the marketing mistake in Saturn, Dreamcast will be a big hit.

Or how about STB/3Dfx, ATI, Creative Lab, Diamond...

Hopefully before my calls expire in March... The future looks bright but the stock is struggling to get out from recent downtrend. THQ used to enjoy a 10 days pre-earning rally then a post-earning sell-off, will this time change to a robust post-earning rally?
