The elite counterses millions

Announced features of the paid Call of Duty Elite called fierce discussions about whether they are subscriptions. There are various opinions. Sometimes obscene. However, the firm Wedbush  In their forecasts, it is usually not descended, bypassed by various numbers. So it turned out this time.

Her analysts (most likely, it was Michael Pacter again) counted that the service would find his user. And not one. By the end of the next year, according to corporate attacks, the audience of Paid Elite will reach three million people. And the income will be 50 million dollars. By the end of 2013, the number of subscribers will translate in five million, in proportion to increasing and earnings of the service.

Why will he be popular, despite the not the most ardent attitude of the people to the subscription model (if you compare with freebies)? Analysts believe that by exclusively mercantile motives. ELITE users will receive 20 DLC instead of four, and will also pay less than the top ten. With such arithmetic, it is very difficult to stay from not subscribing … logical. Although we have questions.

For example, the current “card sets of 15 dollars” diverge to huge millions. And the circulations are constantly growing. If the arithmetic is so unambiguous in favor of Elite, then why only three million subscribers per year? That analysts know such a service that we do not know?
