I guess it's mostly a question of whether THQ promotes it properly and whether they have good retail support or not. Both those titles had marketing issues and a hard time promptly appearing on retail shelves in adequate numbers.
Even if it doesn't take off, I doubt de Blob cost much cash to develop, so THQ will properly be pleased with 300-500k units.
