HANDHELD
LEADERSHIP
THQ continues to lead the handheld category as our many family brands translate
ideally to the handheld market—achieving for THQ (according to the NPD Group)
the #1independent handheld publisher ranking once again in 2003! In addition, we’ve
partnered with many leading companies to publish their own brands, such as Sega’s
Sonic Advance 2, which went on to become one of the best-selling handheld titles of
fiscal 2004. For fiscal 2005,THQ will go on to publish Sega’s Sonic Advance 3, also for
Game Boy®Advance. Finally, in an effort to reach an older demographic, Sony and
Nintendo will both introduce new handheld devices by 2005—and THQ, leveraging its
handheld expertise to the Sony PSP and the Nintendo DS, will offer new games
targeted to this older audience.
