Vivendi Games sales down from this time last year
Filed under: World of Warcraft, Fantasy, Business models, Economy
Many times these fiscal sales comparisons don't paint the complete picture. In a recent Gamasutra article, it's pointed out that this sales drop is due to the fact that the first half of this year didn't have a major expansion for World of Warcraft in its line-up. So comparing sales figures from a time with no new expansion to that with a new expansion is apples and oranges. In fact, with Vivendi's recent merger with Activision and the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King which should release by the end of this year, we're sure to hear some incredibly positive numbers for Vivendi's sales numbers during the second half of 2008.

Not really MMO related, is it? Besides the "TBC did well last year" thing.
That said, can someone explain the discrepancies in the numbers between the July and the May article?
