World of Warcraft Achieves New Milestone with Two Million Paying Subscribers is the press release announcing a new subscription threshold achieved by Blizzard's MMORPG, with further breakthroughs expected when the game launches in China:

World of Warcraft recently surpassed the two million mark for paying subscribers. Already the largest MMO in both North America and Europe, Blizzard expects to see even greater growth with the recent commercial launch in China on June 7, 2005. Anticipation for World of Warcraft was already at an all-time high in China, with peak concurrency during the open beta test topping 500,000 players, nearly equal to World of Warcraft's peak concurrency in all three current markets combined. Blizzard expects to see the new mark of two million subscribers shattered quickly with the arrival of players from China in the coming weeks.

edit: They have a while to catch up to XM Subscribers - which can be enjoyed 24 hours a day at a smaller rate. Which I would gladly pay more for, I mean come on, they put satellites into space so we could have music everywhere in North America (and some areas of South).

For 15.00 a month, I want online WIRELESS gaming in all of North America. (sorry, kind of squirrely today)

XM Radio SubscribersEstimated Subscriber Count: 4,189,609

Why would anyone subscribe to "radio". That's just nuts! Okay you listen to music. You listen to the chatter class. Great... Ummm you can get all this stuff for free off the Internet (legally and not so legally). Albeit you have to go looking for this stuff... but it's out there.

The most exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions.
