In which way is it continuing to grow? It had fantastic opening numbers and since then it has completely dropped off. MMO's tend to have long legs but my point in stating that it was no longer in the top 10/20's in various regions is that this does not.
Its being beat by first person shooters like CoD4 and HL2: Orange Box, which generally tend to have shorter legs, and these games have been out for nearly a year. There is no way they are still selling in quantities large enough to beat reasonable AoC sales that would be needed to reach our prediction (still, after the drop). Which has to be taken that sales have ground to a near enough halt in the regions i stated i had chart data for.
At this point in time given, that it SHIPPED over 1 million but only has 700k registered users, sales have completely tailed off and when it releases in Asia it is likely to be swept beneath the crowd. I would predict 1-1.5 million, depending on level of success in Asia.
