    I dount that the 100K figues are for the UK alone. Most likely it's for world wide sales. Still, that's not too shabby for only being available to the general public for a little over a week.

     

    Live long and prosper

    Codemasters Online Gaming today announced that the most anticipated PC title of 2007 The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar today officially claimed the number one spot across the UK. Codemasters Online Gaming has seen unprecedented demand for the game since pre-orders went live last month with 100,000s of players already packing their bags and moving to Middle-earth.



    Where does that say 100K? It does say hundreds of thousands, but doesn't mention a number anyplace. As for 100K worldwide....there were around 6-700 K preorders, and I'd guess at least half turned into actual sales (probably more, but may as well be reasonable). Odds are, from the busy servers (at least the US servers, which are all I can see) and the forum traffic, it's very likely topped 500K worldwide.

    Bite me, Turbine.

    Not to mention, Codemasters only deals with European Distribution, so it can't rightly quote any worldwide sales.  Likely the 100,000s of players is a figure restricted to European sales. Figuring the number of servers that Europe has and a cap population of 15k to 20k, the total is probably around 150k.  It's all in the ballpark of what you'd expect.

    100k is not an actual sub-number here...



    It says "with hundreds of thousands of players already packing their bags and moving to middle-earth"... It's just a figure of speech...

    According to Gamasutra Lotro has topped the US and UK PC sales charts the last two weeks. While it doesn't give numbers I would assume you'd have to be pushing a large number of boxes to do that.



    Sales from 5.4.2007

    Sales from 4.27.2007

    LOTRO #1 in sales as of 29 April.
    # 1. Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows Of Angmar - Turbine/Midway
    # 2. Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows Of Angmar Special Edition - Turbine/Midway
    # 3. World Of Warcraft: Burning Crusade - Bizzard
    # 4. World Of Warcraft - Blizzard
    # 5. The Sims 2 Seasons - Electronic Arts
    # 6. Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars - Electronic Arts
    # 7. The Sims 2 - Electronic Arts
    # 8. The Sims 2 Celebration Stuff - Electronic Arts
    # 9. Bejeweled 2 - PopCap Games
    # 10. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Shivering Isles - Bethesda Softworks/2K Games

    But... mmo gamers are still the tenetiny minority in gamers world wide (ie. less than 19% of ALL gamers play MMO,) the majority of gamers are console owners (where one sees Sony 'winning' the console war in American and European regions with 36% of the market, with Nintendo 'capturing' second place at 34% and Microsoft finishing third at 30%. Japan, however, is expected to be "dominated by Nintendo [51% through 2011] and Sony [44%].)
