I find it super sad when World of Crapcraft is BY FAR the most successful game on PC... Oh and counterstrike. It's like taking a trip back in time 7 years.

World of Warcraft is BY FAR the most successful game on ANY platform. Not only that, but it is also more successful than the entire MGS, Halo and GTA franchises combined. That's how big WoW is.

 

World of Warcraft isn't even in the league of franchises that sold over 50 M copies (You can even be cheap and add its sales with the original Warcraft). It is not the most succesful game on any platform. Mario is the have yet to be surpassed with over 200 M copies in its franchise sold, with Pokemon close behind it. The Sims has even sold more copies that WOW, are you kidding me? Half-Life has even outsold the World of Warcraft MMO franchise.

 

 

The Sims>WOW>StarCraft>Half Life>Guild Wars>Myth>Counter Strike (PC games)

WOW and Guild Wars are huge because people pay them monthly.

Of course, but we're talking about copies sold.
