- 63% growth in 2008
- $2.8b in revenue
- Six operators brought in more than $200m last year…
- …but each of them tended to have just one title that did it for them
- Social networking continues to grow there (55m users) and cross-pollinate with games
Top games in terms of concurrency:
- Netease’s Fantasy Westward Journey : 1,800,000 concurrent users.
- Giant’s Zhengtu Online : 1,500,000 (this is the one that’s controversial for its “gambling” nature)
- Tencent’s Dungeon and Fighter: 1,200,000 (see here, sidescroller)
- Blizzard’s World of Warcraft: 1,000,000

Netease has always been a heavy hitter with titanic numbers of players online concurrently.
