So 39 percent bought the expansion. Thats still 4.7 million copies. Not even Rift will come close to a qtr of that number.
If Rift has even a quarter of that number, it will be a success.
Yet by that same token 4.7 million copies of Cata sold is a failure according to the logic here.
Rift will do well, but it won't touch WoW as far as sub numbers go.

Most of their 12 million customers are in China, and they won't be getting the expansion for a long time. So you're just looking at the Americas, Europe, South Korea, and Oceania (am I missing any?). I'm guessing that of the markets Cataclysm is available in, it probably had a saturation rate of more like 70%.
Do you people even read the posts in a thread before posting?
Non China (US, EU, Latin America, etc) subscribers made up around 5 million of the 12 million the last time a breakdown was released. A fact that some of the very same people who are using the 39% have used to support their anti WoW rhetoric and trolling efforts in the past.
Again, that is around 95%.
No, I did not. And why are you so emotional? That time of the month sweety?

It helps if you do that first, honey.

Well since we are nothing using any hard facts at all by your logic and freedom to manipulate the numbers why not bring that number right down to 4.7 million out of 4.7 million bought it and call it a day.
Yeah, didn't feel like looking for any hard numbers but I remember seeing them and doing a search will show that mainland China constitutes half, if not more of the subscriptions advertised in the 12 million figure. My assertion of 6 million subscriptions from China is probably an understament, it's probably more, but hey the exact figure wasn't important if roughly half of the subsciptions out there didn't buy the xpac because they couldn't? Whether it was 6 million or 7 million subs from China, all that means is that most non China Wow subscribers went ahead and bought the Xpac, therefore making the xpac a decent success... Pretty straight forward?

Just an FYI- cranberry juice is for urinary tract infections. Urinary tract infection =/ "that time of the month". (Well at least not for most people.) When you talk down to people, stick to familiar subjects.
Edit: NM, it does have Vitamin C I guess! Should have thought of that earlier, my life would be so much easier...

3 of my 4 accounts did not buy the expansion. Why? Because my wife and kids are not high enough in levels to need the expansion yet. I'd imagine something similar could account for some of the numbers.

That would mean BC and wotlk was an even bigger fail considering even fewer people out of the total population got them.
