World of Warcraft Sales Figures Soar in Europe

GamesIndustry.biz has the word that the sales figures on release day for World of Warcraft here in the states have been exceeded by the game's European launch. Slagged servers crumpled and the account creation site on the Blizzard Europe homepage was taken down for a few hours on release day. From the article: "According to figures released by the developer, the subscription-based MMORPG sold more than 280,000 units on day one - more than it sold on its first day in the States - before sales rose to 380,000 by the end of its first weekend on sale."

Well, don't forgot the cost of your computer. And the cost of the electricity you use while playing the game. And, do you drink more Mountain Dew while playing? Add that in too.

Seriously, your comment has to be one of the stupidest I've seen in a long while. Not everything is about Windows and Microsoft.

And BTW: you can play the game on Mac OS X also, so you don't have to have WinXP.
