Not so much on PS3 which will see a slow increase of commitment from the publisher.
Lazard Capital analyst Colin Sebastian, who has recently held investor meetings with THQ management, has predicted that the publisher will continue to focus development on Nintendo platforms and the Xbox 360, with a slow increase of support for the PlayStation 3.
"We expect THQ to remain more closely aligned with Nintendo and Microsoft platforms over the next couple of years," said Sebastian. "This reflects THQ's historical strength on handhelds (GBA and DS), increasing development slate for Nintendo's Wii, early success with titles on the Xbox 360 (e.g. Saints Row) and a slower ramp on the PS3."
Sebastian also revealed that the publisher is expecting strong sales of Wall-E, the latest licensed video game based on a Pixar animated movie, plus success for sequels to Saints Row and Red Faction.
