Cataclysm Sells Big in First Month
Blizzard’s third expansion for the award winning World of Warcraft, Cataclysm, has sold big. 4.7 million big, to be a little more precise. The huge sales have once again broken PC records, this time for copies sold within the first month.
With more than 12 million paying subscribers it would seem that less than half of the player base have upgraded to Cataclysm, leaving the door open for a large number of future sales.
Mike Morhaime, CEO and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment had this to say:
“We created thousands of new quests, introduced new lands to explore and extensively revamped the game world for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm,making it our biggest and most ambitious expansion yet. We’ve been floored by the community’s response so far, and we’d like to thank them for their continued passion and support for World of Warcraft, and for helpingCataclysm reach this incredible milestone.”
So there you have it, Cataclysm sold big. Who would have guessed?!

You may remember me from video features such as the Cataclysm Beta and HowToStarCraftII.
My gaming upbringing was a mixture of NES, SNES and Megadrive before my brother decided to convert to the church of PlayStation.
Nowadays I have my own cash and own all of the major consoles and a top of the range gaming PC. Dropping a grand to upgrade my PC is not a huge decision, it's a requirement! If you can't find me on the PS3 or 360 then I am probably on my PC playing the latest MMO, RTS or FPS.
