One week since the launch of World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria and Blizzard has been surprisingly quiet about the sales of their new expansion. Lazard Capital Markets, however, estimates that the expansion has sold between 600,000 and 700,000 copies.
While this total does not include digital copies, it puts in stark relief how well this fourth expansion has sold compared to the last three. 2010’s World of Warcraft: Cataclysm sold 3.3 million copies in its first 24 hours, while 2008’s Wrath of the Lich King sold 2.8 million copies in its first day on sale and World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade saw 2.4 million sales in 2007; all of these set records at the time.
