WoW: Sales Update
   

The <a href="http://www.vivendiuniversal.com/vu/en/home/week.cfm.htm" target="_blank">Vivendi Universal</a> site has a short promo piece for the 'World of Warcraft' Euro release that reveals current sales of 700,000 units. With the Euro launch about to hit, will WoW surpass 1 million subscribers?

Agree
   

Exactly. And sales do not reflect those who quit after the free 30 days.

Everyone who plays/played Diablo 2 on Battle Net bought World of Warcraft. This represents a huge chunk of sales.

The problem is, Diablo 2 is free of monthly charges and WoW is not. Many will decide not to pay for grinding levels and finding items and others simply cannot afford to.

You don't really think I'm that silly, do you? I have no doubt that WoW will surpass 1 million sales worldwide, so my questions was - can it achieve 1 million subscribers? Perhaps the answer is no - we will see.

I don't know. Whether or not they have subscribers doesn't matter that much when you have over 1 000 000 people shelling out $50 for a game.
