BTW: WoW active subscribers includes bulk subscriptions from cafes in Korea and the like. So sales could actually be below subscriptions, though I expect the game has actually sold 10M.
And I'm pretty sure the 9.5M for Starcraft includes sales of the expansion pack. The same is true for some of the ridiculous numbers floating around for the Sims and Sims 2.
And as for the Sims console versions, I'm under the impression they are actually the same game, just crippled.
