AoC and WAR had more.
Preorders do not mean anything.

Isn't Wii Sport the game that's included with the Wii? That's not very reprentative of preorders.
AoC had almost the double of APB's preorders and even ran out of collector's editions and failed miserably. I still have the huge box and the map of Hyboria here in my room :roll:
Link to $80 million cost?! 5 year dev cycle!? :lol: If true, I have worries about Realtime Worlds and their future. Luckily, a lot of their old team is on at Ruffian now making Crackdown.-RocBoys9489-They developed Crackdown as a funding project to assist in the development of APB. Its actually closer to six years.
450K is poor for an online game that needs subscriptions. GTA and Final Fantasy get more.Yes, such a failure the game had 450k pre orders :roll:

EA is making some questionable decisions. Spending over 200 million for 3 different MMOs(the others being SW:TOR and Need for Speed World) isn't a really smart move, especially when considering the failure of basically every single MMO that came out in the last few years. The behemoth known as WoW isn't helping them either.
Hopefully EA doesn't fail with The Old Republic. I sure hope all that investment pays off. I love Bioware, but their games were never heavy on the gameplay. They are trying to make TOR all about the story and choices, with fully voiced dialogue. But who really cares? Isn't an MMO all about the gameplay and the overall experience with other people? And the gameplay videos so far look terribly dull and boring, I have a really bad feeling about all of this.
If it can keep atleast 100k-150k active players then I think it's fine. The game doesn't seem that big.
Edit: But it most likely won't.
i find it amusing all of you are slagging off the game but none seem to have played it. And no the old beta does not count. Been playing it from the wave 2 beta and hated it but it got better and am now playing it on the early access and love this game.
BUT don't try and play this game solo. Its meant to be played with other people. Find a group or better yet find some friends and play this. Its really good fun. Customisations are amazing.
As for the payments well you get 50 hours action game time when you pay the game and £6-7 for addition 20 hours which is fair since they need money to pay for the servers, Thats better value than spending £10 for 4 maps for MW2.
