Chinese video game publisher The9 was happy to announce some very positive sales reports according its recently released second quarter financial statement. A significant portion of these numbers owes its success to the company’s flagship title in the country – namely, Blizzard‘s World of Warcraft.
The9 was able to pull in a record income and revenue of around US$ 66.3 million, US$ 60.7 million of which came from WoW and all its related properties there. The game generated a huge following in China earlier this year, when over 1 million concurrent users were reported online playing at one point.
The company also has several other MMO titles under its belt, although it’s plain to see that WoW is clearly its main cash cow in its business venture. With the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King already in full swing, we’re pretty sure things will heat up even more once the new expansion hits the country.
