THQ has released its
financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal 2010, which ended September 30, 2009, and things are
mostly looking up. The company lost money this quarter compared to the same period last year, posting non-
GAAP net sales of $100.38 million, down from $151.62 million during Q2 of its fiscal 2009. However sales are up for the entire year, with THQ posting net sales of $334.28 million for its fiscal 2010 thus far, up from $272.69 million last year, a 22 percent increase.
THQ blamed the second quarter dip on a lack of new titles, though it hopes to have a good holiday season thanks to a "strong mass-market line-up" including
WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2010 and
MX vs ATV Reflex. The company was also sure to mention its
triumph in the JAKKS Pacific lawsuit, which resulted in a much lower payment to the longtime
WWE series developer (though the scuffle is still
haunting the publisher).
