Valve has more then 1.1 million concurrent steam users, all the time. They are selling games and media and being very successful. EA’s Sims series has dominated top 10 best selling lists for over 10 years.
World of Warcraft counts 10 million active subscribers — each paying 15 bucks a month. That’s a lot of gold. Age of Conan has already amassed 700,000 subscribers as well.
StarCraft 2 and Diablo 3 will probably cause resurgence in PC sales and a smart vendor (Dell, HP, Asus, ACER) would be smart to design a $400-$500 PC or laptop that could run these games.
