While the numbers seem low compared to other extensions, I think that they are reasonable in that: (1) domain prices seem softer this year; (2) there is great uncertainty about how well dot asia will do; and (3) domainers need to make a profit when they resell these.
Disclaimer: An investment in dot asia is very speculative indeed.
