    All video game awards suck. Why? Because they are probably one of the most predictable type of awards ever. You going to put TBC in with Halo 3 in the same catagory? Even if you aren't a fan of Halo 3, or ever played it, TBC didn't get over a million pre-orders, and didn't receive as much press as Halo 3.

    Halo 3 is only fractioanlly more successful than World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. What you ahve to consider is that World of Warcraft and World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade are two of the top selling games IN HISTORY and then consider that prior to Halo 3, were the fastest selling games in history and THEN consider that Halo 3 does nto have as much longevity as WoW and you can safely say that long after Halo 3 has been forgotten, WoW will still be being played in it's millions :-D

    I think it is in a perfect postion to compete.
