Shall I Compare Thee To Another Launch? (LOTRO, EQ2, and WOW Launch Expansions)
There’s no rest for the wicked, or for intrepid start up companies. When the start up company is wicked AWESOME, forget turkey-induced comas – GamerDNA is on the job. I hope all of our readers in the USA had a good feast. For the rest of the world, today is just another day, and we’re not serving up leftovers – here’s your fresh Trends column.
WOW, What a Week
2.8 million box sales in one day. I guess that means Wrath of the Lich King did pretty well. Of course, the only other team crunching harder than Blizzard is your own GamerDNA team, so our cross game comparison is going to have to wait one more week. So let’s take a look at the basic numbers we’re seeing for the World of Warcraft expansion, and throw in a little GamerDNA flavor.
Play World of Warcraft, win Razer Gear!
