Actually, by more than 100k. As the second runner was Phantasy Star Online with 107k this july when they launched the new expansion. and that's a F2P game to boot.

If anyone thinks 218k doesn't sound like that much, either he needs to buy a sense of proportions, or he's intentionally trying to downplay what's a very solid success. 218k concurrent connection is a VERY high number for a P2P game.

By the way. The official translation of Yoshida-san's message has just been posted for those that were complaining.
