It's not about how many boxes are sold, but how big the POTENTIAL market is. And 1 million is not in anyway the potential market for most MMOG's out there. Potential markets are very hard to estimate, especially in relatively new fast-growing markets like online gaming. In Europe WoW became a couple times the entire estimated potential market for MMO's, for example. Considering the subscription fee: GW is selling briskly btw and is essentially an MMO as well, maybe a hint for the future. Even more to the core: how do you define "niche" and "mainstream" Haemish ? Because by your categorisation it appears everything in gaming is "niche" except Solitaire and online card games. |

For MMOG's: Niche = 50k or less subscribers
Mainstream = 50K + subscribers, with the hopes of being 100k+
