World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, 2.4 million with one shot

The boys from Blizzard have done it again, and done it in style. The expected launch of The Burning Crusade, the expansion pack of the famous World of Warcraft computer game, caused massive floods of buyers in stores all over the world.

That’s why WOW:The Burning Crusade is now in Guinness Book, as the fastest-selling PC game ever produced. Yes, because after 24 hours from launch, almost 2.4 million copies were sold. Yes, you don’t have eyes problems, we’re talking about 2.4 million copies here…

Being released simultaneously in USA, Europe and Asia, the sellings overtook even the expectations of the producers, who only distributed 4 million packages in the entire world. So it won’t surprise anyone if they will be sold out in a short time.

Before the launch of The Burning Crusade, around 8 million players spent their time on the Bilzzard servers, in the fantasy realms  of  World of Warcraft. After this boom, it won’t pass a long time until the magic 10 Million barrier will be surpassed. The growth of the WOW universe seems to be unstoppable. And with revenues of over 1 billion dollars every year, it’s sure that Blizzard will do whatever it can to keep the flow going…
