World of Warcraft sells 4.7 million in first month.

about 1/4 the subscribers purchased the new expansion.

World of Warcraft has a total fanbase of 12 Million customers worldwide up from 11 million since October 2008. Since the release of Cataclysm last month, Activision Blizzard sold 4.7 million copies of the game including the limited edition.

When first released the game sold 3.3 million copies during the first 24 hours and it took them another 29 days to sell another 1.4 million copies which isn't bad seeing as there are only 12 million subscribers that is about 1/4 of their fanbase.

Is World of Warcraft loosing momentum or is everyone waiting for a price drop? I think it's time Activision Blizzard release all World of Warcraft games in a package rather than still sell them individually which can run a user up to $100 or more and it's pretty pathetic that their user base only grew by 1 Million since October 2008.
