    ... is that Blade & Soul I see in third place right on the tail of GW2?  Nah, it couldn't be.  That's a 5/10 according to some "professional" reviews, and "trash" and a "terrible" game according to a segment of posters on this forum.

    You know the boost of GW2 sales is the HoT expansion that got included only in 4Q. L2 boost is due to the Classic.

    I feel bad for Wildstar.  I love the humor in that game.

    That is world wide income.  Lineage 1 has over four times the income of Lineage II even though it has no servers in NA or EU.  Blade & Soul has been out in Korea, Japan and China for 3+ years (where virtually all of its income is and will be generated), but is probably not a game that has a broad appeal in NA and EU, although it will have its fair share of fans.  Enough for NCsoft to keep it going in these areas?  Only time will tell... NCsoft has shown over and over again that they will pull the plug on even profitable games if they are not considered profitable enough.


    The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!

    Yes, and it's also the first quarterly report since NA release. Meaning the next one will show how many people bought it and hated it. High initial response should be expected.

    These are Q4 2015 revenues.  

    BnS was released in NA in Q1.  

    I'll let you try and figure it out.

    Happy to see Wildstar doing a little better since it went F2P. Hopefully it continues to improve for them; maybe Steam will bring them some more income.

    People forgot this detail, B&S NA sales will only be put in the next report. But it wont make a substancial difference.

    Don't hold your breath. Companies like Trion and Daybreak are private and aren't obligated to release any numbers publicly. Blizzard and NcSoft have to release this sort of info since they are public companies.

    Nobody would expect the expansion would make over 100 billion like the launch quarter.

    After the last report Blizzard said they would not release numbers anymore for WoW.

    Good quarter for Lineage; less than a certain recent estimate! but a good quarter.

    For WS though - just over $2M for the quarter which will include any initial bump from the honeymoon period - dot, dot, dot

    Correct - public companies don't have to release any player numbers - they do however have to disclose revenue.



    Good, when is the report coming?

    Although I couldn't really get into Wildstar, I was really hoping it would do good.

    OK, gotcha. Guess I'll try reading next time.

    Reading and viewing things from an unbiased and objective point view usually goes a long way in preventing non-constructive knee jerk reactions.

    I hope Steam can bring more people in to WS, but if not I don't know how much longer it can last.

    Bringing players in won't do anything.

    It's about bringing players and getting them to spend money, LOTs of money - that would help them.
    It's the first step, though. They can't spend on WildStar if they don't play WildStar.

    Hopefully Steam can at least bring more people to WildStar; hopefully the developers can do the rest. Arcterra + Steam could be a big turning point for WildStar, or it could be the final nail in the coffin, so to speak.

    Well, yea, but they need people first so they can actually spend the money in the shop
