The latest expansion to the “World of Warcraft” 
franchise sold more copies in 24 hours than most PC games sell throughout the course of their life.
More than 3.3 million people bought “World of Warcraft: Cataclysm” in its first day of availability – making it the fastest selling PC game of all time, according to publisher Activison-Blizzard. (The previous recordholder, not surprisingly, was the last “WoW” expansion – which sold 2.8 million copies in the 24 hours.)
