THQ's new strategy is to make a few 'core' titles yearly
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.

Bullshit.
When you fire 17% of your workforce this is the only candy-coated press-release a business can give.
Expect the same shovel-ware as before.

Whats with the Bat-Axe?

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.

1995 anyone?
(yes I know times change but THQ used to publish mediocre games back then, and now they're going old school baby!)

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.

It seems to be the diverging strategy for ailing companies, to either go all-core (Midway, THQ) or all-casual (Atari, Majesco)

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.
