If only temporarly. Smaller loss that forcasted (Udraw still having its effect). The company is still having multiple issues regarding licensing and Wii focus titles, but the more they move away from those, the better their prospects would be. Increasing their cash position by 3x (which at last I heard was only ~35 million) is probably the best outcome as their burn rate was becoming an issue.

Gaming-software maker THQ Inc. THQI +38.79% raised its fiscal fourth-quarter guidance citing strong sales of "Saints Row: The Third" and "UFC Undisputed 3."
THQ said it has shipped more than four million units of Saints Row: The Third and the popularity of the game has contributed to higher-than-expected digital sales. UFC Undisputed 3, which was released in February, has also achieved slightly higher-than-expected sales, the company said.
The company narrowed its projected loss to between 10 cents and 20 cents a share on sales of $160 million to $170 million. Its February projection was a per-share loss of 35 cents to 50 cents on sales between $130 million and $150 million, below analysts estimates at the time.
THQ saw its fiscal third-quarter loss widen as customers ignored its uDraw Game Tablet during the holidays, prompting the game developer to discontinue the tablet and launch a restructuring plan that includes ending its children's game efforts.
Shares closed Tuesday at 45 cents and were inactive premarket. The stock has fallen 33% over the past three months
