I doubt that any game would be the "Death" of WoW

With those many pre-orders...Aion will do well in the first month..but 3 months later...

WoW is currently the Counter-Strike of MMOs- there were popular MMOs before it, but it killed the lot of them when they fell in quality. And right now, the developers are on a roll, and NOTHING can stop them. Not even Valve's own efforts- TF2 and L4D- came close to the popularity of CS.

No. No MMO is on track to kill WoW.

Aion, as impressive as it may be, won't run on 1/2 the computers that are playing WoW now. That's the key to WoW's impressive run.

May Aion challenge it a little? Sure. But by the time WoW dies down, Blizz will just launch a new MMO and it'll reclaim the top, I think.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Nope, WoW will die eventually. Just like every MMO eventually does. It might be a slow death or quick one. It depends if there is a terrible update (kind of like what happened to RuneScape) or the community slowly leaves.
