25% is bad regardless.
1.3 million is good regardless.

From the article:

Quote:
“In terms of the quarter, they met expectations,” said Colin Sebastian of Robert W. Baird, adding “but I don’t think anyone was expecting a 400,000 decline in ‘Star Wars’ subscribers.”

“The trend is clearly downward, and for an MMO like this, you don’t want to see a decline this early on,” Sebastian said.

Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities said the numbers for “Star Wars” during the quarter suggest the game might “level off” at the 1-million-subscriber mark, compared to some earlier estimates of 1.5 million subscribers, “so the franchise is far less valuable.”
To say that TOR is doing better than expected is just flat-out entirely wrong. Were expectations high? Yes. Has BW failed to meet expectations? Absolutely - they've failed to meet expectations and they're doing everything possible to talk up other games, any other games, besides TOR right now.

Actually, Rift peaked quickly at about 600K and has since fallen to around 250K.

I suspect they have lost MORE then 400k. You have to remember they sold something like 2 million + copies at launch.

If they only have 1.3 million subs, that means they have lost 700k+ subs.

People seem to forget this.
