World of Warcraft Shatters Sales Records

Mightydos writes " An interesting article was posted on Blizzard.com today... They say World of Warcraft® has sold through more than 600,000* units to customers in North America, Australia, and New Zealand. The fastest-growing massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) has also shattered all previous concurrency records in North America, achieving over 200,000 simultaneous players during the holiday period.

Sounds like a fucking rip-off to me. And probably why despite all the hype a good many gamers are avoiding this nonsense. "Oh yes, that sounds fine - $50 bucks up front, plus another $180 over the next year *for a single game*."

Riiight. No group of players is *that* interesting to hack up monsters with. Especially when most of their sentences are littered with 'leet speak and "dude!".
