Thats not a failure , that many subscribers can pay for the game its just not mainstream and selling like hotcakes. An example of an failure would be Earth and Beyond Online or The Sims Online

Yeah but this is Sony. They are mainstream entertainment.

Things that have stopped me/ slowed me from playing planetside. ( I knew about the game wen it first appeared as a side note on SOE - I used to play the free InfantryZone betas years ago ) :

Need a fast connection. I took ages to get ADSL in my area. Cable is disallowed under my tennancy agreement for some reason.
My PC needed a hefty upgrade
There was no demo
When the demo came out it was Fileplanet/gayspy subscribers only.
The demo file size is massive and seems to corrupt. It need to be split into smaller downloads.
now that 've gotten the demo, it's fking up. MAssive updates as well. I know of two others in my gaming comunity that have deleted the game due to being pissed off at the huge update.
The UK payment options are abysmal. YOU NEED TO ALLOW SWITCH. Do some market research. Every 16-26 year old has a switch/solo card. Few have, or want, credit cards. Who buys the most games? Could it be 16-26 year olds? I think so.

[edit] So many typos I cba correcting them
