Publisher boss says platform holder's first-party titles damaged THQ's FY results
President and CEO of THQ Brian Farrell has pointed the finger at Nintendo’s successful first party software for making the kids’ video games market “extremely competitive”.
In a Q4 earnings call with investors, Farrell cited Nintendo’s software success as a reason why THQ’s “traditionally strong kids’ business did not meet expectations”.

What's that? A company starts releasing better games than your usual low-grade licensed shovelware and you complain it is not fair? Poor you.
Perhaps you could hire some consultants to tell you that the secret is to make BETTER games and MARKET them BETTER!

This seems very harsh on Nintendo ... there are plenty of games companies out there who make much better games than THQ, it seems unfair for Mr. Farrell to just focus on one.
