I was at the Anaheim Fry's this past weekend. They have a crate full to the top with Collector's Editions, it made me a little sad cuz i made a big deal of how special it was to friends. When they pointed it out of course they repeated what i said.

There were crates of standard edition throughout the store. Whereever you went there were WoW merchandise and copies of the game. One whole shelf was stocked with standard and CE.

In short there were A LOT of copies.

Well gratz to blizzard i think. Ofc the game is great and very addictive but you really must hand it to em how well they've shipped + marketed the hole project. I remember that at one point wow+gamecards werent available.

I think they made a big jump forward in their workfield. EA can eat their eyeballs out. gg gz.

Is this including pre-orders? If it is, then I would say that's kind of low, considering the popularity of the original WoW. I guess over a fourth of the people upgrading is a good number, I just expected about four or five million to be sold on first day, including pre-orders from places such as www.amazon.com, which is what I used.
