Okay, maybe I'm wrong, but I still stand by what I said:
-----
Yeah, but this one's been a long time coming, I've been waiting for the
news to drop... They don't have the customers, and they can't afford to
raise prices, that's what the last one was for. They kept up the
license on Lord of the Rings to keep new customers coming in. They'll
hope to ride it out, get some new kids, and hope a new Pokemon-like fad
doesn't come down in the near future.

Notice the release schedules have been slowed down as well. Oh yeah,
and don't forget the SIX MILLION DOLLAR LOSS from Warhammer Online.
Wouldn't want to forget *that*...
It's great, the stock's been dropping 1-3% every other day every 3-4
days, then rallying a half a point or so back up. Also they've been
blaming some of the losses on the "new" Memphis plant.
I'm not one of those people that constantly jumps on them (the 7% loss
was negligible and corrected quickly) or thinks they're going to go out
of business, or that the CEO will be fired.
(Well, unless it lasts for a year or so.)
Just that they better hope those $50 boxes of Space Marine Terminators
save their ass...
