When you enter a vehicle on one of the lists, you are told that it is wanted and then directed to the nearest chop shop. If you spot a vehicle on the list while searching for a different one, you may as well grab it. You don’t have to collect the vehicle in the listed district, however, though driving around that district with the vehicle selected is a sure-fire way to have it appear. You must be in the indicated district for the vehicle to appear on the GPS. Select a vehicle from the list to have it appear on the GPS when it spawns in that district. The listings include the cash and respect amounts reward for the vehicle’s delivery, as well as the name of the district that the vehicle can definitely be found in. Each list contains eight vehicles that the chop shop is interested in having delivered. The original Saints Row sold roughly 750,000 US units during its first four quarters in release on a single platform at a much earlier point in the console cycle," added the firm.Ĭowen has lowered its third quarter estimates for THQ from 11 cents per share to breakeven, and its fourth quarter estimate from a loss of 14 cents to a loss of 20 cents per share.There are five chop shop lists in Stilwater. "Previously we had been optimistic that the franchise could break the 1 million mark, given its launch on two platforms. The publisher's open world crime sim, Saints Row 2, has also not met expectations, with Cowen anticipating it will shift 900,000 units in its first 12 months in the US. The latest SpongeBob SquarePants game from THQ also suffered a decline in sales compared to the previous year, dropping 19 per cent. "The unit decline is not likely due to quality issues as this year’s WWE title actually received meaningfully improved critical reviews compared to the last several editions," noted Creutz. NPD data shows that for the last quarter of 2008, sales of the wrestling game were down 22 per cent in the US, compared to 2007. "The WWE decline is particularly concerning since that franchise had been one of THQ’s last bastions of strength," said Doug Creutz of the latest in the series.
That's the opinion of analysts Cowen and Company, who also point to lower than expected sales of Saints Row 2, as they anticipate a substantial loss from the publisher. THQ us unlikely to breakeven for the second half of it financial year due to a decline in sales of its key franchises, WWE and SpongeBob SquarePants.
