The NPD Group has announced today that they’re going to start selling quarterly reports tracking “market size and title shares for paid online subscriptions to video games and MMO/PC games, gaming Web sites, and video game console services.”

Welcome to the New MMOGCHART.COM
We’re back! As you can see, the website has gotten a complete makeover and a new WordPress blogging engine. Feel free to look around and let me know if anything is broken. I’m currently working on a new update to my MMOG subscription research that I hope will be online within the next week or two.

RSS Feed
In advance of my next update, I’m experimenting with a quick and simple RSS Feed so interested parties with an RSS reader can be notified when updates are released on my web site.
On Hiatus
