And now for some World of Warcraft news. Blizzard says that they’ve sold some 4.7 million copies of Cataclysm since its release one month ago. Most of the sales came on the very first day of release, with 3.3 million copies moving on day one. Mighty impressive.

Note that these numbers are worldwide, as the game was simultaneously released across the globe, coming out in the U.S. and a bunch of other places on December, and spreading elsewhere, including Korea, by December 9.

Also mentioned in the very fancy press release is that Blizzard is hiring (presumably to get work started on all those games they’re said to be working on). Maybe you have the skills to design the next “go kill 6 murlocs and bring me their eyeballs” quest?
