Blizzard has announced that the latest World of Warcraft expansion, Mists of Pandaria, has sold 2.7 million units worldwide in its first week. The sales figures include both retail and digital. This is not including figures from China which was released on October 2.
Blizzard also announced that its subscriber base has bounced back after steadily falling over the last year. The game had lost one million subscribers in just six months, dropping down to 9.1 million at the beginning of August. The game now has more than 10 million subscribers.
"With Mists of Pandaria, we set out to expand on the sense of fun and discovery that’s always been at the heart of World of Warcraft -- in addition to adding a huge variety of new content and features to the game," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment. "It’s been gratifying to see the results of all of the work we put into this expansion and to hear all of the positive feedback from players so far."
