World of Warcraft sells 600,000 copies

In a Blizzard press release the makers of World of Warcraft announce that they sold more than 600,000 boxes of WoW up to now. During the christmas holidays up to 200,000 people were online simultaneously.

Good news. Because numbers like this make dollar signs light up in the eyes of game company executives, which means that there will be more MMORPG to come. Some undoubtedly being bad, or cheap rip-offs, but some certainly also being quite playable. Until another big hit comes and starts the cycle anew.
