I never say "only" because 500k is a very VERY solid base....
Its just with how popular MMOs are, and how many people own consoles and love the FF series, this game is poised to beat that
this game sold 550k out the gate (And promptly lost MANY of those)
But a high Famitsu score basically guarantees close to a million in Japan
Who knows how many stick around after the month though....
So I guess it deserves to be said that FFXIV attracted more players (And will continue to attract more players at 2.0) but FFXI was able to keep players... and most people I talk to that played did so for a very long time...
That has to say something
