Blizzard moves 2.7 million Mists of Pandaria units in first week

4.5
After two rounds of speculation, we finally have an accurate read on Blizzard's Mists of Pandaria sales numbers. The firm moved approximately 2.7 million copies of World of Warcraft since its September 25th launch. This doesn't count sales in China, where the expansion debuted on October 2nd. The company also reports that its global player base has surged upwards of 10 million subscribers.

"With Mists of Pandaria, we set out to expand on the sense of fun and discovery that's always been at the heart of World of Warcraft -- in addition to adding a huge variety of new content and features to the game," said Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime. "It's been gratifying to see the results of all of the work we put into this expansion and to hear all of the positive feedback from players so far."

Note I play this game myself, I find it rather fun, even better when you play with friends, otherwise it can get a little boring now and now. But playing with friends occupies more of your time.

People saying that if you play this it makes you pathetic, NO. It doesn't. You're just idiotic to think that. It's a game, just like everything else on a PC/console, loads of people play other games, I'm sure you do too. Does that make you pathetic aswell? Personal opinion when people play different games, people like different things.

Good luck getting a girlfriend champ who's gonna break it to your parents that they won't ever be grandparents?


You're a fagg*t for even saying that. You seem like a d*ck. Good luck getting a girlfriend.. & if you ever do I hope she looks like Honey Boo Boo.

DEEJAYstar46 World of Warcraft is quite boring, I am surprised it is so successful.


Same there are a lot of people that love it for some reason. I find it stupid and pointless.


Yeah, I'm surprised too. I suppose it's good for them though.:)
