I didn't read this whole thread, but I read the people bitching about how only ~30% got the expansion.
CHINA DOES NOT HAVE THE EXPANSION YET. Many of the people I go to school with are from China and still play on their servers and they don't even have ICC yet. They are VERY behind over there.
So that is why the numbers are 100%. You are welcome.
Said that like 8 times in here Sunny, they just don't listen.

No matter. Let the fanboys have something to hang their hat on to excuse every decision their hero Ghostcrawler makes once again. We'll talk about this again when we have retention numbers, and we'll see if they go as quiet again as they did when it came out WoW stopped growing and began shrinking more or less exactly the moment Ghostcrawler took control.
Yep, that's certainly why the game gained several more million customers since Ghostcrawler took "control". He definitely failed. Oh wait, or is it just the regular forum background noise, with people whining the game isn't vanilla/TBC anymore and saying they quit... and months later, you still see the SAME people posting the same crap, meaning they still have an active account since that official forum is account restricted.
But yeah, in your fantasy, the game is failing, shrinking, whatever else. I expect you to still be here in 5 years, or even 10 years, no matter how long WoW will still last, to tell us "told you so 10 years ago that WOW would fail! I was right!"

That sure is a lot of sales for something that was roughly half the size of Wrath, with half the new dungeons and factions of Wrath, much of which was robbed from existing areas, re-hatched, re-done, and or transplanted from elsewhere in the game, (otherwise the very least they could do and call it an expansion).
In reality these sales numbers have proven less sells thus the player population can now expect even less next expansion.

Care to explain your logic here?
So they have sold MORE, yet you pretend it proves they sold LESS?
I'm confused.

Yes it is amazing they appear to be growing, just holding steady would be excellent for a six year old game.
Initial box sales isn't a growth indicator, only overall box sales and retention rates. All initial box sales means is higher number of pre-orders than before.
Subscription numbers indicated WoW was in decline prior to releasing its expansion, and I will bet dollars to donuts will resume that decline once the shiny is become a little more worn, just as it did with WotLK, which in the end was a much better expansion in the first place.
Indeed, with the way WotLK ended, with everyone being handed all the goodies on a silver platter and with everyone having multiple L80s, how can anyone be surprised that Cata outsold WotLK off the start? Everyone was sitting around this time with nothing to do for months.
Context is everything. But some people are easily impressed.
Yeah, the 3rd expansion of a 6 year old game breaking the record set by the second expansion, which broke the record held by the first expansion impresses me. The fact that it was an MMO that posted those sales also impresses me. If that means I am easily impressed, so be it.

I would be more interested in seeing how many of those 4.7m are still subbed after the first two months.

Me too, but I would be surprised if they publicize retention numbers in any formal way. Do they?
