THQ, Midway, Atari stocks surge on EA's bid for Take-Two

Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks that EA's bid for Take-Two signifies a period of consolidation coming to the videogame business. Take a look at the performance of several small and mid-sized publishers' stocks Monday, none of whom had any news of their own:

THQ: Up 10% to $9.65

Midway: Up 7% to $2.19

Atari: Up 13% to $1.61

Anybody want to take bets on how many of those companies, along with some European publishers like Eidos and maybe even Ubisoft, will still be independent a year from now?
