Bless me. This is some heady news. How do you move this many units in a day? Do you have to have one of the most
famous games licenses in history? Yes. Do you need to have a multi-million dollar marketing campaign? Sure. Do you need
to release a great game? We'll see. The reviews of World of Warcraft have been oddly absent, but the sales figures are
certainly making the rounds. A quarter of a million copies in one day is mighty impressive.
This comes from the official website:
In just one day, World of Warcraft sold through an estimated 250,000 copies to players. Over 200,000 accounts have
already been created, and peak concurrency across all active game servers has been above 100,000. See the full media
alert here to read more about Blizzard's epic first day of
World of Warcraft! The alert also contains details about Blizzard's plans to steadily increase server capacity and make
more copies of the game available to stores in the coming weeks.
Wow. World of Warcraft, WoW.
