The article is about the number of duels not the number of players, the amount of duels is like more than 6 millions euro in 3 years.
I miss reading over 75 Million Duel from April 2005 (I Think 75 million duel with Duel Evolution).It’s mean 1 Year = over 25 million Duel.It seem like Konami get more money with this game but They are too lazy to improve.
Let put this in perspective with world of warcraft currently has an estimated 9million+ players – just imagine how many combats they are clocking up every minute, let alone in the last few years !
