The problem is that Rugrats games don't get respect from the street. It seems that big PC games are what the street likes best. Btw, CTW had a report that Rugrats is selling well in Europe this quarter. Marc

Jeff, Other than the 7PM WWF is Sunday night, not Monday, your analysis is correct. In the prime hour 9-10PM, the WWF audience is approaching double that of WCW. Also, I think that the WWF will be far less exploited than the WCW by the time THQ takes over. Aklaim will have published two N64 and two PSX titles which apparently will be both well reviewed. THQ published 3 N64 games - 1 poorly reviewed; 2 PSX games - both poorly reviewed; and the PC game - which I can personally vouch was poor {grin}. Now having poorly reviewed games is not good for THQ, but I do like the timing of the move to WWF. ERTS will have a tougher time selling new WCW product, than THQ has with WWF, IMO. I think that THQ will fare very well with the WWF, although not knowing the terms of the deal, it is very speculative. Rumor has it that one of the considerations that ABC had in the move of the Oscars to Sunday night was the popularity and dedicated fans of Monday night wrestling. Kory
