THQ blames Nintendo for financial losses

“With a tough Pixar comparison to Cars [Ratatouille] and new competition from Nintendo’s first-party titles – as well as new music games – our traditionally strong kids’ business did not meet expectations.” – Brian Farrell, THQ President/CEO

Although I do agree Nintendo may have caused THQ to lose out a bit on sales, THQ did not exactly release many titles that match Nintendo’s quality and polish of their games. On the other hand, it has been proven that sometimes, even if excellent titles are released into the market, the sales will not always be fantastic.
