My hometown of Bakersfield, California has about 3.7 million people living there. Not a huge town, but not a tiny one either. The reason I bring this up is because Blizzard announced today that their latest expansion for World of Warcraft (Wrath of the Lich King for those of you in caves) sold 2.8 million copies in the first 24 hours of its release!!!11 So either Blizzard has brainwashed 76% of my beloved Bakersfieldians, or they have a huge hit on their hands...
Since WoW has about 11 million subscribers, that means about a quarter of their user base bought it on day 1. I wonder how many of them will end up buying it (actually, I wonder about the WoW players that aren't going to buy it, but that's just me) - at any rate, it's impressive that an expansion for a game has done so well. Is this what the future holds for our hobby? What do you think?
Congrats to Blizzard!
