I don't believe in those numbers. I believe they're heavily overestimated.

$7 billion online revenue for China is far too much when World of Warcraft's total worldwide revenue is around $1 billion of which only $300-400 million comes from Chinese players. Knowing that WoW is very popular and has a big marketshare in China the $7 billion revenue number for the online Chinese gaming market doesn't make sense.

There's just no way that WoW only has 5-6% of the total Chinese MMO market revenue when it has over 50% in the West.

Also the source is very questionable.

-120 million online game users (almost the population of japan).
- WoW is probably not in the top ten of most popular games (in the number of  gamers playing it) Games like fantasy westward journey had at their peak more than 40 million users.
