In a Friday earnings report, we found out that the MMO Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures has over 415k gamers consumed in the game. Since the success of the game has been so high, Funcom's Q2 revenues rose up to $13 million, up from "previous guidance".

When Funcom announces their Q3 earnings, their revenues are expected to rise $2-$3 million higher. The developer/publisher of the game has also said that Age of Conan was the "largest MMO launch since World of Warcraft."
The game launched on May 20, and Funcom said in a Friday earnings report that the game's launch was the "largest MMO launch since World of Warcraft."

Funcom categorizes a "customer" as players "who are either subscribers or are playing in the first 30 days included in the sale of the box."

The game sold-in (to retail and digitally) 1.2 million units, and sold through (customers who have entered game client key and billing info) 800,000 copies to customers.

Age of Conan drove fiscal Q2 operating revenues to $13 million (£7 million), around $1 million higher than previous guidance. Losses before interest and tax were $6 million.
