More likely, it would be a playerbase maxing around 10-15 million with a fanbase in the area of 25 to 40 million (though the fanbase probably would trend towards the lower number of 25 million to 30 million, it could be higher, especially if many of them come from an older generation still)...in my estimates.</blockquote>
