In a note to investors obtained by Gamasutra, Doug Creutz and Jason Mueller of financial firm Cowen and Company stated "increasing confidence" in The Old Republic has convinced the company to update its sales forecast for the title from 1.5 million to 3 million units.

Additionally, the firm believes The Old Republic has the potential to land 2 million subscribers in its first year, up from the 1 million it forecast earlier. If the game reaches such a subscriber base, The Old Republic would be a big hit by the publisher's standards. Electronic Arts said in February The Old Republic would be "substantially profitable" with just 500,000 subscribers, with anything above 1 million monthly users making the game "very profitable."
