As far as the bigger next-gen picture is concerned, Farrell and Chief Financial officer Edward Zinser told analysts that THQ expects both the PlayStation 3 and Revolution to launch "later in the year" of 2006. However, the pair praised Microsoft's Xbox 360. "The big win is win is the ramp-up of the [360's] installed base," lauded Farrell. He also said Microsoft had "aggressive plans" to expand that base in 2006.
The THQ executives said that they would divide their 2006 development efforts amongst all three consoles. When asked to estimate the division of resources, Farrell said the company would roughly allocate 40 percent for the Xbox 360, 40 percent for the PS3, and 20 percent for the Revolution. "We'll focus a little less on Revolution until we see more," he said, saying the company was increasing its initial work on games for Nintendo's new console.
