For THQ, you need to be prepared. I just read part of the investor's handbook for this year's stockholder voting (whatever it is, there are a few items to vote on, like who is taking care of their stock management, Deloitte or something), and they said that they have decided to get completely rid of their licensing LOB (so they're done with most of their handheld and Wii casual games) and are now only focussing on core efforts, like Darksiders and Homefront, and their other franchises.
So, that's where they're headed, but good news is that now they have the guy from Naughty Dog to lead their development teams, so they are in a good direction, just not in good shape.
