Console gaming publisher THQ plans to enter the casual video games market, competing with EA., RealNetworks, and Yahoo, among others, an analyst’s report said.
As part of the push, video-game company THQ will launch a new site called Slingdot.com, in mid-April, according to a report written by Evan Wilson, a stock analyst with Pacific Crest Securities.
With this move, THQ would be competing with EA…EA bought Pogo.com in 2001 and now generates $57.7 million in subscription revenue from the site. Analyst Wilson believes that THQ could match that revenue range in two years.
