SWTOR subs vs other similar titles

I was listening to a podcast and they gave me inspiration to compare SWTOR with the first few months of some of the biggest releases in the last few years.  This is how it graphs:

I found it interesting that this graphs shows just how successful the SWTOR launch was with sales eclipsing all three of the other titles. Unfortunately it seems to be mimicking the same decline.¹

Only hardcore fanboys will argue with the statement that SWTOR's subscriptions will continue to fall in the next quarter.  The big question is whether it will experience another 50% reduction like occurred with its predecessors.  That would equate to subscriptions of approximately 700k.  As the only change to the game we can expect in the next few months is the Looking For Group feature I'm afraid the answer will be yes as that won't encourage players to come back.

One thing that will be interesting is the announcements we see in June-July that come from EA/Bioware in their attempt to stop the bleeding.  Frankly I'm shocked that no one in a lead position on the SWTOR project has been "reassigned" yet.  One thing that has been protecting them is that EA didn't want to show any displeasure to the project managers for fear of spooking the investors.  Now that the investors are spooked we may see big changes in the game's leadership which will no doubt have a big impact.  Whether that will be a good thing of a bad thing for the player base is impossible to know.

¹ In case it isn't clear, the purple line is the combination of all 3 titles (Rift, Age of Conan, and Warhammmer).
