| MikeB said: @ Chris Hu Good point, however War of Warcraft provides a free trial period (free download) and the game is well cheaper than a console retail game. It's still amazing though (what is the number of active monthly accounts?), I think relatively low hardware requirements allowed this game to tap well into the hundreds of millions install base. |
Once you factor in monthly charges, it's actually really expensive. Having said that, it gives you as much play time as you are willing to invest in it. And it's addicting.
And believe me, it's nowhere near the hundreds of millions install base. Last announcement was 11 million, I would imagine it's close to 12 million by now, but then the GameCube sold more than that, in the same time period, so...
Nah, I kid. 12 million for a game (particularly one that makes you pay every month) is amazing, and 2.8 million first day for an expansion pack is more amazing.
