    1 million subscribers

    Square made an announcement a few days ago that FFXI, FFXIV and Dragonquest 3 combined have 1 million subscribers.

    How many do you think each title has? My guess is 300k for D3, FFXI 100-200k and FFXIV about 550k

    Hmm IDK, FFXIV's main page a few months back advertised having more than 2.4 million subs. So I'd like to think FFXIV was a little higher.

    That was registered players not subscribers, but yeah might be a little higher than 550k.

    I believe FFXIV has been off and on with subs. I, myself, subbed every month. After beta on PS3 and moving to PS4, I subbed every month when they began subs (about September or October 2013) until I stopped in December 2014 in favor of FFXI again.

    Many people in chat on FFXI also mentioned how they let their FFXIV subs expire.

    I no longer play FFXIV either, and the last time I did, there did seem to be a lot less pop than normal.

    I would say at least 100k is the minimum honestly, that's about 6.2k subscribers per server which given the 24/7 nature of the game sounds about right to me.

    No, Square made no such recent announcement. Read the article.

    Correction: Square Enix's annual report was released on March 31, 2014, when the company's fiscal year ended. We apologize for the error.

    I think you need to read it again, Square did make this announcement and they used these figures themselves. They decided to use the figures from last March for whatever reason but it's obvious they aren't much different now or they would of used the more upto date ones which they have access to.

    never heard of this announcement but Dragon Quest 3 is not an MMO. You're thinking of Dragon Quest X (on Wii, Wii U, and PC). So something's not quite right here.

    FFXIV has been very successful, not merely "not dying."

    Also, as noted, that financial report was released early last year, which means it includes very little data on FFXIV because that game was in its infancy at the time the report was likely being worked on. FFXIV has been out for nearly a year if not a full year, since the report data was probably compiled.
