Isn't it strange that some people can think that only 4 million sales in a month is poor. That's the trouble with WoW's success, it sets the bar too high for everything that comes after it, even it's own products.

Wow! That's twice what they sold for Burning Crusade. That shows there is high interest in this new expansion.

With 4 million subscribers outside of China (China having 7 million) that means that the vast majority of existing players bought the XPack which is pretty phenomenal. Unless of course that includes China in which case it's pish.

I don't think it can, WoW's largest contender to date - Warhammer Online - didn't make a dent.

That's quite a lot. I used to sell my self on several platforms, but even in my heyday I was never that good. That's almost three months work for me.

They could sell crap and people would eat it like chocolate. Oh wait, that's exactly what they did with WotLK...
