A good response, and a comforting one to a subscriber, I suppose (even though there is no real information in it). However, I have to wonder about his claim that CoX is the most popular superhero MMO out there. This site recently suggested a 250,000 number for Champions Online, which I realize is an estimate only, but would put the newly launched CO about twice as high as CoX if accurate. NCSoft stopped putting out numbers, and Atari hasn't issued any yet, and might not. I wonder what he bases his statement on? I guess the absence of real numbers from Atari's side might be enough to continue making the claim.

NCSoft's financials are due next week or so, and for the last few quarters either bad news or reorganizational news has accompanied their financial report, give or take a few days. For gamers' sakes, I hope the trend stops this time around.
