You say fail... I don't think it means what you think it means. All SE needs to do is grab a niche audience like XI to be successful. According to the stats released they have over 600k unique daily logins which is HUGE and apparently it is increasing. People bring up games like SWTOR, Rift, Aion and Tera as failures just because they never reached WoW numbers. All of those games are successful and their continued development is proof of this. If things pan out and 10 years from now XIV has 500k total users, I'll be happy. Fewer than that I am sure has kept XI going so I don't see a failure because a few people jump ship because they realize the game isn't for them early on.
