"I believe the performance of Aion in the US and European markets will be very successful. ... We are guessing that Aion will be -- could be -- the second [most] successful MMO in the US market next to World of Warcraft."
Lee said it would be "very hard" to match the success of World of Warcraft, "but Aion will be a very successful product. We are very confident in it."
