Star Wars MMO needs one million subs to break even
News
EA hopes to achieve over two million.
According to Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia, who recently met with EA, the publisher believes BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO can achieve subscriptions of over two million players.
EA has previously stated that the game is the "largest ever development project, period, in the history of the company."
The game won't, however, need to reach the two million mark in order to break even. According to Bhatia, this can be achieved by gaining a little over a million subscribers.
Star Wars: The Old Republic is scheduled for release in spring 2011.

I dont know about the rest of you but rather than be a Jedi fighter (and before anyone jumps in with this being set in the old republic age...) I want to fly an xwing or similar and dog fight tie fighters and assault the death star and star destroyers. I want a new xwing with modern hi-red graphics as that is still one of my favourite gaming experiences of all time.
