THQ lists Warhammer MMO for fiscal 2014, has multiple unannounced games ahead

People are forgetting THQ Play which to my knowledge is still operational and likely preparing WiiUDraw. I am wondering what software they could be working on since THQ has announced leaving children's licenses and earlier leaving as many other licenses possible.

I think THQ is counting on WiiU this winter, Darksiders II is supposed to come and so is Metro. I am betting every core THQ game will be present on WiiU. That means THQ should have a good presence on the console this holiday season and porting to WiiU is supposed to be cheap and easy to do.

I fully suspect THQ to take full advantage of WiiU. I am betting THQ Play will release WiiUDraw then launch any existing draw software for WiiU.

THQ is not going to die this year that is my bet. They will return to profitability this winter barely but they will likely break even. Then THQ will maintain this strategy a few years until it is safe to start expanding again assuming the economy doesn't entirely collapse.

THQ can't pull a Midway though. Midway rushed its products when it started feeling the crunch they allowed quality to fall through the floor. They should have fought tooth and nail to maintain operations till every product was completed. Area51 was a big one if Midway had sold assets and cut all nonessential staff till they were bare bones they should have done everything necessary to complete their final products. I know I read they were starting new products when they went under, rather then wasting vital resources starting new projects they should have completed the ones they had. Perhaps if Black site Area 51 had been a higher quality polished game it could have sold better and given the publisher just enough money to finish any other projects.

I think Sega did the best job going down. They kept cutting they kept trimming but they maintained operations they kept producing games as high quality as possible. Until they were rescued that is exactly how THQ needs to operate. All it would take is one or two big hits to save the company.
