First point is they count the WoW year passes as sales, even though they were free to those people.

Either way, the game is just a hype fest. Doesnt really deserve all those sales, but blizzard drones cant help themselves.

The WoW passes were 1.2m. Ok, that takes it down to 8.8m. What then? Are all of them Blizzard drones?

That and victims of the hype and advertisement machine.

If you look at it objectively and watch a game like Dungeon Siege 3 didnt have sales anywhere near, even though it looks and plays the same (maybe even better) does tell you that something else was at work here.

They are great at convincing people that a turd is made out of gold, i'll give them that.
