Star Wars success 'reflects healthy MMO market'

'Peak concurrent users at 350,000 players', says analyst

The success of Star Wars: The Old Republic since its release last month reflects on a healthy MMO space, a market analyst has claimed.
The Bioware title currently has more than one million registered users, with early adopters getting a 30 day subscription-free period.

"We view the early success of Star Wars as an indication of a healthy MMO market," said Baird Equity Research's Colin Sebastian, as reported by gamesindustry.biz.
"While there is likely some shifting of usage from Activision's World of Warcraft, we see a viable market for multiple million-user MMOs in the US and Europe."
The company estimates that the game has 350,000 concurrent users at peak.
