Is wow going down??
As of JUNE 30th:
WoW - 9.1 Million subs (down 1.1 million).
Diablo 3 - 10 Million+ boxes sold.
Notes:
16.9 million Battle.net users, up from 10 million just 3 months ago.
10 million D3 copies sold, with 1.2 million of those from the Annual Pass.
Most of the WoW Subscription losses were from the East.
Losses are from people playing Diablo 3 and leaving until the new expansion.
The China launch of Mists of Pandaria will launch as soon as possible, not likely in Q3.
Mists of Pandaria will utilize TV and online ads leading up to the launch.
