The game was destroyed by pretty much every reviewer out there (and with good reason) and it only shipped about 600,000 copies. Two days after release the game only had 50,000 characters. By the end of October there were only about 350,000 active characters. With the state that game released in I really doubt it went up by a lot and stayed up. That number probably has been decreasing significantly month after month. And then there's your ending statement-- The fact is, each server will charge about 3k players on each server after all is said and done. You're saying that like it's going to be good business. Read my previous post why that isn't good business. 54,000 players totaly would be a very bad thing. |
You are trying to compare the success of FFXIV with other MMOs, the fact is that FF14 is not the success SE was hoping for. That does not mean it will not be profitable, becasue it will be. Its so easy for you to say "oh what a disaster! Can this game before we lose any more money!" Well, thank god you are not a BD at SE. This game will geneare revenue and it will have a life of 10 years or more. I don't care if you don't believe me, I have played enough MMOs to know what will happen. FF14 will have about 7x or more total revenue than FF13 has under its belt when FF14 is shut down.
