    I share the same belief :)

    i do heh but they didn't offer pre-purchase right away so I just got it from the main site

    I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

    You're reminding me of those batman-fans that kept writing everywhere on IMDB/facebook: DARK KNIGHT RISES WILL CRUSH ALL RECORDS. Guess what, it didn't crush nada.

    To the OP: using Amazon as your only "sales number" not considering the period when GW2 is launching and when kung fu panda is launching.... it just doesn't add up.

    It seems our gw2-community is as focused on beating wow as in getting fps-smacked when WvWvW will commence.

    if i was OP i would have added in the things i posted earlier.. makes the number little more impressive.. allthough for a new AAA MMO a week before launch its really not suprising at all

    MOP = cheaper to buy digital than boxed £35 boxed vs £30 digital 

    GW2 = cheaper to buy box than digital £50 digital vs £35 boxed

    I am sure the above factors in, but let's be honest MOP will sell more than GW2. 

    Besides Justin bebeir sells more preorders than most does that mean he's the best musician? Yeah I went there.

    The only two number that matter is sub number for wow, and how many copies of GW2 is sold.  All other thing is hocus pocus.

    Am I the only one not surprised a brand new game is selling better than an add-on for a game that released in 04?

    i'd be more concerned with how many people are you know actually actively playing the game.. but maybe that's just me

    Jump to conclusions much.  The only thing the OP is stating is that currently GW2 is out selling MOP on Amazon.   There isn't any other underlining meaning other than, GW2 is out selling MOP on Amazon.   At this time. 

    The community is excited about a game, why can't they be?  Nothing was made up here.  Just an observation was made by the OP.

    However if you want some commentary on WOW being beat, I can say, with 100% surety that MOP is -1 player  and GW2 is + 1 player.   Not a huge swing or anything, just a fact.  So for me personally, GW2 wins.

    well lets consider this.. TERA and TSW combined didn't sell even half of what Cata sold for wow probably even lower than half.. so i dunno you tell me

    oh talking US sales not sure how well TERA sold overseas I read not well but not sure

    I personally am not suprise either.  But for some, just seeing the big boy below someone for a change makes them tingle inside a bit.  Most people root for the underdog.

    Same goes for GW2.   I bought mine from ANet.   So your observation is noted and is meaningless.

    yea same I just don't even see it in the top 50.. unless i skipped it somehow.. which doesn't make sense because Cata is still in the top 50

    I'm pretty sure their marketing tactics only work on those who have been groomed since birth to be mindless consumers, but that's just my opinion.

    Hate to burst the bubble, but it doesn't mean anything.  Most WoW players seem to be going for the digital download, so they can start playing at Midnight.

     

    Also ANet are charging a crazy amount, compared to other retailers.

    I'm not saying it's not an accomplishment, only that I'm not surprised by it, there's a lot of competition in this industry so being first in sales anywhere is no easy feat. TSW and TERA had no where near this much internet buzz and word of mouth advertising going on. I have to account that toward the difference in this case.

    Even though those very people most likely helped Wow to be what it is today..it really is laughable
