World of Warcraft Reaches 9.3M Subscribers
Vivendi recently silenced its naysayers, revealing that their subscriber-base has hit an all-time high of 9.3 million players. Although there is no release date set for the highly-anticipated World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, Blizzard still manages to post record profits. Gamasutra reports:
Vivendi has chalked up the increase not only to its WoW subscriber base, but the release of its The Burning Crusade expansion, which saw release in China in the latter part of the third quarter … The company also noted that its subscriber base has continued to grow from the 9 million mark it celebrated in July to more than 9.3 million, which it says is up more than one million subscribers since December 31 of last year.
Black Friday (Ads) Cometh
Throughout history, many unusual events have occured on Black Friday:
In contrast to all the horrors that have plagued the Friday immediately following Thanksgiving Day, contemporary Black Fridays symbolize the point in the year that retailers start making net profits. Because profits are denoted in accounting by Black, and deficits by Red, it follows that this day be called Black Friday. With all this having been said, expect to see many different sales ads, like Best Buy, CompUSA, Sears, Target, JCPenney, Walmart, etc., for Black Friday 2007.
