Just as it was revealed yesterday that Bandai Namco was having success on Nintendo formats, THQ has now revealed it is also benefitting from strong support of Wii and DS. Whilst the company may have seen losses triple to US$27 million, it saw huge upturns in fortune across both the Nintendo DS and Wii formats, with earnings for each respective system being US$27.2 million (up 55% over last year) and US$23.3 million (jumping a whopping 269% over the same time last year!). Wall-E and the Wii's Big Beach Sports were singled out as the big software sellers.

Below is the full list of how each system performed for THQ, in rank order:


  • 1.) Nintendo DS ($27.3 million)

  • 2.) Nintendo Wii ($23.3 million)

  • 3.) PC ($23.2 million)

  • 4.) Xbox 360 ($20.1 million)

  • 5.) PlayStation 2 ($19.9 million)

  • 6.) PlayStation Portable ($10.4 million)

  • 7.) PlayStation 3 ($6.7 million)

  • 8.) Mobile ($5.1 million)

  • 9.) Game Boy Advance ($1.6 million)

  • 10.) GameCube ($53,000)

  • 11.) Xbox ($0)


Will the likes of de Blob be able to help Wii and DS sales rise even more over the next quarter? And what other THQ games are you looking forward to?

I can't wait for de blob. It lookss totaly awsome.

Wii beach sports is aload of crao, can't beleive how much advertisingn there is for it. Wjich is the only reason that it sells well at all. Wall-E being a movie tie-in was bound to sell well.
