NCsoft's latest financial numbers show that the Korean-based MMO developer/publisher is riding high on the success of their latest game, Aion, in its home country. According to Gamasutra, NCsoft had profits of $27.12 million for the quarter that ended June 30 compared to $4.92 million in profits from the same period a year ago.
Of course, Aion has yet to launch in the US and Europe but NCsoft's CFO Jaeho Lee is confident that the game will do well in those territories when they are released. In a conference call with investors following the financial results he stated, "We are guessing that Aion will be -- could be -- the second [most] successful MMO in the US market next to World of Warcraft." At the moment, pre-orders for Aion are selling well via both Steam and on Amazon.com's web site.
