I see mostly speculation and assumption here, no hard facts or numbers. It's clear to see that Blizzard is playing hardball with the market and they don't intend to give up their players easily. Even if they were losing a good amount of players, they aren't going to admit it.

I seem to remember McDonalds having this ad campaign showing how many burgers they'd served on the front signs but even years afterwards I still don't see Burger King closing their door. The longer Blizzard can try to convince everyone that their "burger" is the best the more players they'll retain. It's time now for the other MMO's to show why they have a better burger and keep things just different enough to give us consumers some choices.
