With beautiful graphics, a ton of content, and a good score on MetaCritc it is no surprise that Aion Online has sold like gang-busters. We reported earlier that Aion would do $70 million with 400,000 pre-orders
Not quite two months later it has been announced that NCsoft has sold 500K unites in North America and 470K in Europe. This means that Aion Online has already made $49,990,000 and should easily make that $70 million mark in the first year with ongoing subscriptions of $14.99. This was calculated using the $49.99 standard prize but do not forget that many orders were placed with the premium collectors edition at a higher price.
Aion continues to expand with Patch 1.5.1 which included new content, bug fixes, and user interface improvements.
Aion Online truely can “Fly” and is “Flying” off the shelves.
