Square Enix's Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS may have sold more than 3 million units over the past few weeks, but this week's winner in the "How many units have you sold?" department has to go to Blizzard’s MMORPG juggernaut World of Warcraft.
As Gamasutra reports, the latest NPD data reveals that between the stand alone game, the expansion packs (The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King), and the Collector’s Editions, WoW has now sold a staggering 8.6 million units in the United States alone, generating an estimated $258 million in sales. And that’s before you add in the hundreds of millions of dollars that Activision Blizzard generates from charging users a $15/month subscription fee.
Although, none of this is all that surprising, given Blizzard's new slogan, "We put the 'WoW' in 'WoW! We sure do make an obscene amount of money. Don't we?"
How much money have you personally invested in World of Warcraft up to this point?

a few hundred bucks to be sure. likely more but i don't think i've spent a rnd on it yet. i'm not playin right now cuse of low funds but i'll be back playin as soon as i can. i think the price is fair. it's even cheaper if you buy alot of months at a time. i've played a few mmo's - Star Wars Galaxies, Lineage 2, and WoW is the soothest ost solid running game at least of those three. however they are all technically very different games and i'm mainly speaking to the issue of lag.
man i miss WoW

with all that money you think they could afford to hire more people to to actually make progress on Diablo 3/Starcraft 2/Starcraft Ghost

WoW bores me now. But I might get back into it to see what is going on

You would think they would lower the price per month since there doing so well. $15 is to much for my blood, especially since the game isn't even new.

I've never played Wow. Not that I wouldn't play it, but I'm just much more into playing my consoles.
