Online games worth $1.3bn in 2004

BBC news is reporting that MMO games will generate around $1.3bn in subscription revenues and online property sales in 2004:
"It's clear that the online gaming portion of the industry continues to experience surging growth, especially in the area of subscription-based games," said Alex Macris, editor of the report and co-founder of The Themis Group.

He said over the next year $1.1bn of the $1.3bn generated worldwide by online, multiplayer games will come from subscriptions.
It's worth noting that much of the growth is coming from Asia. Interestingly they name Final Fantasy as a successful transfer over to the MMO arena but SWG a failure - aren't the numbers were relatively similar?
