NCsoft released Q1 earning report.

NCsoft released it's Q1 2009 earnings report today. Contained within it is some very interesting hard data about Aion. Did you know Aion "only" has 41 servers in Korea but 113 servers in China?! I didn't. What's even more intriguing, though, is the new projected launch windows for Aion in North America and Europe...



So now, instead of Q3 or Q4 2009 we're looking at 2H 2009, the second half of 2009. :D

I've attached the .zip file that includes the report (in .pdf format) to this newspost. The quarterly investor conference call was also released to the public, available via streaming or direct download. I haven't listened to either version yet, but they might be something worth listening to. ;)

Discuss!

EDIT: Some websites reported on the financial results...

Quote:

South Korea's leading online game company, said Monday that its first-quarter earnings quadrupled on-year on strong sales of its new flagship game title. Net income amounted to 33.5 billion won (US$27.2 million) in the January-March period, up 315 per cent from 8.1 billion won a year earlier, the company said in a regulatory filing.

* Sales increased by 51.4 per cent on-year to 133.4 billion won, with operating profit climbing 128.34 per cent to 42.5 billion won, it added.

* The company attributed the surge in the bottom line was attributed to a rise in the sale of its fresh game title, 'Aion'.
