Well, new news since I posted that.  Midway released a financial
update yesterday in the form of a press release.  Here's the relevant
section:

**************************************************************************************
CHICAGO, Illinois, October 2, 2007 – Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY)
today announced revised estimates for the Company's third quarter
ended September 30, 2007, and fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
The changes are primarily to reflect Midway's decision to release
Stranglehold for the PLAYSTATION® 3 computer entertainment system in
the fourth quarter rather than the third quarter, the expected
movement of Unreal Tournament 3 for the PLAYSTATION 3 system into the
first quarter of fiscal 2008, and lower expected sales of BlackSite:
Area 51 primarily due to the adverse impact of the split shipment
between the Xbox 360 and the PLAYSTATION 3 system, with the European
version of BlackSite: Area 51 for the PLAYSTATION 3 system shifting
into the first quarter of 2008.

**************************************************************************************

They reiterated that the PC version is still on track, but who really
knows?
