In terms of sales, yes, there is no comparison. You'd have to be crazy to argue otherwise.
Games are considered massive blockbusters when they sell 10 million copies. Warcraft has that many a month paying for the opportunity to play the game.
If you look at how MMOs sell, you can really tell the impact of World of Warcraft - that is, almost every single title has failed and shut up shop because it couldn't compare with WoW. No other title can claim that kind of success.
I'd argue that outside of Mario 1 and Pong, its the most impactful title in gaming history, for sheer size of its base of accomplishments.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
