None In the continuing successful tradition of World of Warcraft, Blizzard has announced that the newest expansion pack, The Burning Crusade, has sold 2.4 million units worldwide on its first day on store shelves. The company shipped 4 million copies. “The Burning Crusade has already exceeded even our most ambitious expectations,” stated Mike Morhaime, President and Co-Founder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re pleased that so many players are eager to see all of the new content that the expansion has to offer, and we look forward to seeing everyone online as additional players continue to upgrade in the days ahead.” That is a pretty impressive number, beating even the number of Wii and PlayStation 3 consoles sold in the entirety of 2006.
