^ It seems like you're completely discounting that they apparently beat out both of their previous expansion's records. I'm sure doing better in sales than they previously did was about where they put the bar, and it looks like they did exactly that.
You're making a lot of assumptions on just a couple data points, and discounting a lot of previous sales for this game and others, just to jump to the (imo) very illogical and erroneous judgment you're arriving at.
Those "sales records" are dollar amounts, and boxes sold.. not percentages of boxes sold in relation to the number of current account holders( which is larger now than ever).

If only the Net revenue was higher, because then WoW would really rock!

Obviously, but the differences in sub pop numbers between expansions wasn't so great that it would create that big of a swing in the percentages you're discussing if Blizzard beat previous initial month sales this time around. But then, I think you just want to argue. I'll let someone else take over from here, because this discussion is pretty nonsensical and pointless to me given the info we have. Clearly WoW is still breaking records, and still failing by doing so. Par for VN.

China just got WotLk like 5 months ago, pretty sure Cataclysm isn't out there yet.
another that did not read the OP.
You're pretty terrible at Geography then. It's not out in China yet, and won't be for quite awhile.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm was simultaneously released in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Europe, Russia, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand on December 7, and became available in Korea and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau on December 9.
Damn, all this time I thought Hong Kong was in China..

I see. Speculation in a discussion relevant to the board's topic is now trolling.

If we're being overly literal, Taiwan IS China according to mainland Chinese.
