Then you have Steam stats.

I'd guess with PS2 being F2P and world-wide, 300,000 players a month after release. And then steadily growing from there.
PlanetSide 2 being a shooter and needing a fairly good PC isn't going to grow as big as WoW.

None thought that LoL would grow as big as WoW either but it did in just two years, it has even surpassed wow in active players as of now. Don't underestimate the power of having a good game that appeals to the masses without any real competitors and on top of all that it is also free.
What they need though are incentives to continue playing. LoL's first win of the day bonus works wonders for the game. PS2 could have a similar system that gives twice the rewards for your first few kills/assists/repairs etc each day.
