I'm going to make a possible prediction. Next generation I think the publisher who will really step up most could be THQ. The company has been backed into a corner and you never corner a wolf. They have decided to make higher quality internal titles rather then rely on cheaply made licenses. They also are throwing their support behind WiiU, big support and appear to be on the ball when it comes to next gen consoles.
If THQ really pulls all the stops and puts all of its energy and efforts into bringing high quality origional and successful IP to tnext generation consoles. If THQ takes Ubi's position as Nintendo's biggest supporter and solidifies a position as one of the big publishers once again. Then they could very well be next generations biggest step up publisher.
