what is working for SM is that they are sticking to what they are really good at, which is the program. They are letting DAZ take the lead with the figure (instead of trying super hard to take it over) ,they are not getting distracted with hairbrained expansion schemes, and they are pacing themselves. All things that DAZ is having a bit of trouble with.

Yea, I remembered two more DAZ flops, Gizmo's and the Art Zone. sooo... Bryce, Cararra, Hexagon (I'm calling it a flop for lack of growth and development), Gizmos, Art Zone, Optitex, Game marketplace, Genesis.  All of those were supposed to be a big deal, and sort of faded to a second or third fiddle, or even disappeared. That hurts big time financially.

They have some wornderful art talent and tech people, but their business leadership... I'm not so sure about. It's all very ADD, and that gets very costly.
