They're going to need to make one hell of a wrestling game if they expect it to take on WWE and save them...

Considering their big games for next year are Wheelman and This is Vegas, I can't say I can see them surviving for much longer, I can also say I find it hard to care.

I think it is more likely they will create another LA Rush which will flop again when we all want some new SF Rush games (should be multi-plat).

That's sad. But seriously, is it that hard to make a game that sells? Buy a ready engine like UE3, then just design your run of the mill generic shooter with a good story and a good online component copied straight from BF2, first call it exclusive to get some attention and later announce it as a multiplat. Add few gimmicks, release some carefully picked screenshots(of the PC version running on some supercomputer from the future). And dun-dun-duu! A million seller guaranteed.

People in on this board are way to dramatic, Midway isnt going anywhere TNA iMPACT will sell as wrestling fans will buy a good wrestling game. And they have the new Mortal Kombat coming which will sell.

Oh and Nintendo Man dont really think you should talk about bad lineups the wii lineup is downright awful.

Midway was doing so well about midway through last generation with new IPs and making decent games, and then they went back to making crap games.

Its not as bad as you fanboys make it out to be. Midway on the otherhand like Atari are surviving because of a couple of IPs.
