Lineage and FF11 are being carried almost entirely by Korea. A substantial chunk of WoW is thanks to Korea (and China, haha) as well, I'd imagine. In all seriousness, I wonder how much of that 7 million is due to the extremely profitable gold farming trade? (Or FF11 for that matter, as I understand it's really bad in that game as well).
The wierd part is the games sitting at "successful" range, in the 100-200k range. I thought EVE Online had more of the market than that, and I am very, very surprised to see Star Wars Galaxies still carrying as many as 170,000 subscribers, even if it is declining. And Ultima Online? Seriously?
D&D Online just started, so it's not unusual to see it as a solid line straight up. Toontown Online is taking off pretty well, which is a shame. By all accounts it's not a very good game, but they've probably got a ton of guaranteed sales from idiot security moms thinking they can use the game as a wholesome babysitter.
