http://www.computerandvideogames.com/43 ... 7-million/I'm guessing they'll never actually see much of that money.

I think other factors are at play when it comes to subscribers such as the general economy and alternatives. Will a film and $7 million compensation make up for the drop in revenues? I think not. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

They'll probably bring out a WOW2 once the new consoles come out. Even build in PC graphics on recent laptops with allow much more detail/effects than the original game could have.

WoW has never been on consoles. I'd be somewhat surprised if it showed up on the new ones any time soon. They only got Diablo 3 onto the new consoles by abandoning their proprietary networked back end. They're not going to want to do that with WoW.

It is a MmORPG, so a large part of it is interacting with other players in character, or at least it was on the German servers, like Anarchy Online as well, so you spend a lot of time typing in conversations, not something that your can easily do on a console.

It would be interesting to know what is happening with other MmORPGs. What are the subscriber numbers for them? Are they falling? i suspect that a number of people are getting bored and stopping gaming and others are switching to other games. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.
