What do analysts analyze? Not the news, apparently, as a WoW vs Warhammer report from Lazard Capital Markets’ Colin Sebastian seems to suggest.
“We do not expect [Warhammer Online to have] a significant negative impact in the near-term on World of Warcraft — and note that preorders of the upcoming [WoW] expansion pack rank as one of the best selling games on Amazon.com and other retail websites,” Sebastian told Edge.
Additionally, he expects WoW to vacuum up another 1 million players over the next year, mostly as a result of Wrath of the Lich King’s predetermined success.
“…our conversations at BlizzCon suggest limited interest in [Warhammer Online] among core WoW users,” he added.
We’ll let you guys handle this one.

Do people actually pay analysts or do they come up with dumb stuff for free?

First: I am a blizzard fan, so I have no interest in playing anything that does not have the blizzard logo attached to it.
….see my point. Blizzcon is for Blizzard fans. Asking ppl if they are considering playing Warhammer at a Blizzard fan convention is not good research in my book.
As I said, I am a Blizzard fanboy and I have paid 70euro to go to the WWI. Do you really think I have any intention to play an MMO of a competitor?
…plain stupid
