If someone asked us how much we'd spend on a Warhammer MMO in a world where World of Warcraft still reigns and Blizzard has another online game in the pipeline, our answer would be "not much." But THQ's answer, when posed the same question about the upcoming Dark Millennium? Around $50 million, according to CFO Paul Pucino, speaking on a recent conference call.

Just when we're about to get snide about our business savvy, Pucino reveals that the company expects to sell 1.7 million uDraw tablets (remember the uDraw?), up from a 1.3-million-unit prediction in December of last year. 1.7 million. uDraws.

Like we said: Dummies.

Speaking at the UBS Annual Global Media & Communications Conference, Pucino said that four to five titles would arrive for the device from THQ in the next fiscal year (April 2011 - March 2012). He didn't offer any more specifics, only revealing that one of the games would feature SpongeBob SquarePants.

Okay, we're gonna cut to the chase here, THQ: Convince Nintendo to let you develop a new Mario Paint for uDraw, and you can have all the money. How does that sound? All. The. Money.
