Who here doesn't like Guild Wars 2, wait don't answer that, it was kind of a loaded question. I have always been a huge Guild Wars fan since I first played the first one. I bought all the expansions when they came out and it was only a matter of time till I got Guild Wars 2 and started to play that. To this day Guild Wars 2 is my MMO of choice. And I know there are other people out there who think the same. Maybe that is why Guild Wars 2 sales, in both North America and Europe set record-breaking sales for a Western Massively Multiplayer Online Game.
Today the ArenaNet and DFC Intelligence, was proud to announce that Guild Wars 2 ranks "as the all-time fastest selling Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game." With territorial sales of more than 3 million in the first nine months alone.
“After triangulating against multiple data sources, it’s clear that Guild Wars 2 is the fastest-selling Western MMO of all time based on the first nine months of availability”, said analyst David Cole of DFC Intelligence. “This puts Guild Wars 2 in an impressive position when they release in China, where we’ve seen similar franchises really take off”.
When the game does get released in China, they expect that the growth of player-base could even exceed that of the Western player-base.
