Good point, although I suspect this that most MMORPGs won't be able
to get retail shelf space. In the two game stores that are near my
house, which are small, I have only seen 3 MMORPGs on shelf at any
given time. Right now it's WoW, EQII, and Final Fantasy. They used
to have AC2, EQ1, and Horizons. This situation might be better in
the US.
