Aion drives sharp rise in sales, profits for NCsoft

"After seeing a drop in fiscal 2008 profits, NCsoft has started 2009 with solid financial results for its first quarter ended March 31.

NCsoft said numbers were up because it was able to maintain strong sales of its flagship franchise Lineage, as well as generate solid sales with its new MMORPG, Aion, which launched in Korea in Q4 2008."
