Analyst Predicts 5 Million Units In First Month For Lich King

Wrath of the Lich King is due out in ... approximately 4 days 10 hours, according to WoW Insider's countdown. That's exciting news for World of Warcraft players, and even more exciting news for Activision/Blizzard. The company, which relies on WoW's income for a noteworthy part of its profits, is expected to sell some 5 million copies of the MMO's second expansion just in the game's first month. Gamasutra reports on this speculation, which comes from Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey.

Hickey thinks that the flagged US economy will ultimately not have an impact on Blizzard's numbers this holiday season, and is impressed by WoW's continued success in the face of competition like Age of Conan and Warhammer Online.

"there only meaning is to suck your life and wallet dry"

That's true for every game, but we still buy them because we enjoy them.

XXXCouture5645d ago (Edited 5645d ago )

no its not true for every game. games are meant to give you an awesome experience, mmos wants you to grind for hours

and in case you didnt know. they are MEANT to get you addicted

grinding, grinding, grinding, grinding, *falls asleep....

Thats what my last MMO experience was like, and i played for 10 minutes or so.

Gun_Senshi5645d ago

mmos are not fun to play at all.

all you do is grind. WoW is the worse mmo for grinding. after max level all you do is grind for armor.

grinding is not fun!

spending hours and days to finish a raid to get epic gloves. rejoice for 2 min and back to grinding.

i think its fun if you play them with your real life friends, especially in WoW I'm enjoying it mainly beacuse my freinds are in it and we having alot of laughs and fun memories.. but I'm with you if you play an mmos without knowing anyone kinda sucks.

Ranking Every World of Warcraft Cinematic Worst to Best

BLG writes: "To celebrate the announcement of Dragonflight, the latest World of Warcraft expansion, we decided to rewatch all the game’s cinematics and rank them from worst to best. Including the latest one, of course. In fact, we purposely waited until the new expansion got announced before putting together this list because we wanted to see how the Dragonflight trailer stacked up against all the other WoW cinematics. Spoiler alert: it’s not amazing, but it's not the worst one either."
