WoW has no 800lb gorilla to go against and is losing people at a hefty rate.
Aion - the largest (non-WoW) MMO ever, with 3-4 million subscribers. Half of WoW's subscribers are in Asia. Wouldn't that be the obvious answer?
Also Rift - which peaked at about 600,000 subscribers. That also looks like about the size of dent left in WoW's subscriptions.
