THQ misses target, but sees success with Wii/DS titles - reconfirmed plans for more de Blob, Drawn to Life, Big Beach Sports

Here’s some snippets from the THQ fiscal report we posted one story below…

- Future plans: building strong casual game franchises like de Blob, Drawn to Life and Big Beach Sports

- de Blob achieved a Metacritic rating of 81 and shipped approximately 700,000 units to date

- Big Beach Sports shipped more than 1.2 million units to date

“Established franchises like Saints Row and WWE SmackDown vs. Raw, as well as new franchises such as de Blob and Big Beach Sports for the Nintendo Wii, give us confidence in our strategy going forward.” - THQ statement

Sad that that Beach Sports game sold more than de Blob.
Still, 700k shipped for de Blob is really nice. :) I actually got that game today, gonna try it out this weekend, I'm really curious to see what the game's really like. Looks like a lot of fun to me. :)

Big Beach Sport was out long before De Blob so it's no surprise it'd sold more.

Glad to see De Blob will be getting a sequel. It should break 1m in time.
