That's rubbish. If casual consumers get hit by the economy, they don't need to cut back much on their video game spendings, because those were not big to begin with. On the other hand, a core gamer needs to take drastic measures and will buy several games less than usual per year.

What's likely to have hit THQ is that their cartoon and movie tie ins became of lesser quality over the years which eventually lost them consumers. Even kids learn to stay away from trash and opt for other games, because they are limited to just a handful per year.

Were those games ever of good quality??

I have a Spongebob game here (Battle for Bikini Bottom) and while it isn't anything special, it's at least good enough to capture the humor of the show and it doesn't have any major bugs. I haven't played any other of their Nick-themed games, but what I gathered from reviews is that they've been getting worse over the years, relying too much on the license to sell the games. No push to make a good game whatsoever, just a repeat of the same formula with no proper quality control.


Doesnt surprise me at all, i would go so far to say you can apply what you just said about THQs own WWE games.
