KDB Daewoo Securities: B&S NA/EU Sales Forecasts for 2016

The investment bank KDB Daewoo Securities forecasts solid quarterly sales for Blade and Soul:
We upped our Blade & Soul US revenue estimates from W10bn to W20bn for 1Q and from W10bn to W15bn for 2Q-4Q each. But even with the revisions, our assumptions appear conservative compared with the revenues recorded from Blade & Soul Taiwan and Guild Wars 2.
We see a chance of Blade & Soul US revenue exceeding W30bn in 1Q, if we model the revenue per server from Blade & Soul Taiwan (released on November 26, 2014 based on a microtransaction model) into our estimates (13 servers in Taiwan vs. 34 in the US).
10 bln Won are about 8.5 mln Dollar. If the forecasts are correct then NA/EU will contribute 40% of the total B&S sales. The assumption of 30 bln Won in 1Q16 seems too optimistic for me.
