This is a bit of generalization. With regards to WoW, you have people who came from previous MMOs, people who were fans of past Bliz games and folks completely new to the genre. Not all categories of people are going to run out and purchase other MMOs.

The biggest problem for VG is that the current crop of MMOs are much more professional; much more refined. I'm not talking vaporous talk of potential, I'm talking actual new user experience. The vast majority of people who come from those games are going to be absolutely appalled by their experience with Vanguard.
