Will this beat World of Warcraft?

One of the effects of capitalism is that competition drives prices down. Hence globalisation enables us to buy far more stuff with our money than ever before. And where something can be delivered over the interweb the competition is effectively infinite so the price the customer has to pay moves towards zero.However the console manufacturers would still like to find a way of making money from the millions of people who play these MMOs. And the publishers of these games would like the jump in potential revenues that comes from being on additional, widely used platforms.So sooner or later we will see these games on consoles. But to get there will take compromise by both parties, out of which we will see a new hybrid business model. Mark Gerhard, CEO of Jagex, the developer of Runescape, talks about this and other matters in a recent interview. And Sony have already said that Free Realms is coming to the PS3.

With PC MMOs we have had a similar drive to zero priced games. They use something called “bait and hook”. You buy the initial brilliant value offering but are then locked into a standard where you have to keep paying a premium price. The huge profit in the high price consumers pay for console games effectively subsidises the cheap price of buying the console in the first place. This business model was made famous by system shaving razors from companies like Gillette and Wilkinson Sword.Maple Story, Habbo, Club Penguin, Runescape and Free Realms all have millions of players. And there are many more such games out there. Obviously the money has to come from somewhere to pay for these games to be written, hosted and supported. This business model works by providing upgrades in the gaming experience for small payments and from advertising. Which with millions of players can add up to a lot of money.Console gaming works to a completely different business model. Buy cheapest wow gold ,cheap wow gold here !
