THQ's CEO Brian Farrell, has given a talk at the BMO Capital Markets Interactive Entertainment Conference to take a look at their goals for the next several months. The main concept, "fewer, higher-quality games".
They're going to do this by looking at the areas they detailed being "core market, kids' games, family games, the female audience, and online gaming". Note how they made females a separate category.
The main focus is core gaming, which everyone knows is the biggest thing around. Brian Farrell discusses how they'd bring out 3-4 games in that category a year. Now the plan is to reduce that to just 1-2 to put a lot more focus and time into them.
The article also mentions some strategies for the other categories. Now it's just a matter of waiting to see how the new tactics for THQ work out.
"Clearly, returning the business to profitability...in the next fiscal year" is the company's key goal, he said. "How are we going to get there? With respect to the core gamer, we get it. Fewer, higher-quality games."

Prehaps It is why Naughty Dog is my favourite developer. Each title they released is close to perfection in my eyes; its like they can do no wrong. They dont release too often, but when they do, it's a knockout. Maybe others feel differently, but yeh thats me.
