Don't expect to see the changes until at least 2010. THQ already has four core titles set for 2009: Red Faction: Guerilla, Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 2, Darksiders: Wrath of War and Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor. Saints Row 3 could become one of those two 2010 titles, considering the game is currently in development.
THQ's new strategy is to make a few 'core' titles yearly

THQ CEO Brian Farrell has revealed that the company plans to only release one or two hardcore titles as part of its "significant business realignment." According to Gamespot, Farrell stated at a recent conference that the new model would cut the publisher's previous development expectations in half and focus on quality over quantity.

Shareholders, time to start selling.
(Then again, why would anyone be stupid enough to invest in THQ in the first place?)

I guess I should clarify that.
What I'm referring to is THQ deciding to put out even fewer non-shovelware titles than they already do. Their *claim* of focusing more on quality means nothing to me: this *is* THQ we're talking about.

Now's the time to sell huh? Seeing as THQ's stock has already plummeted to about 4 bucks, maybe you should do some research before offering up your retarded investment strategy.

I like how all of their core games are either about war or have the word war in their title

As long as they release a Destroy All Humans game every few years I'm fine, oh and btw the game Darksiders: Wrath of War sounds like it will be really good.

As long as standards don't suffer. I'll be quite happy if they can stagger a Dawn of War and a Saints Row every other year.
