Yeah both WOLTK and CATA sold more copies in the 1st 24 hrs then MoP did in the 1st week, it also shows how massive the Chinese sub base is and yet financially only contribute under 10%.

What I'm wondering is whether this figure includes digital sales.

The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

not bad considering people will be plenty cautious after Cataclysm being not a so much good expansion

These numbers are good for three reasons:
1) Cata sucked, so Wow players are cautious.
2) GW2 has only been out for a month and it sold 2 million copies. I expect Wow to reclaim some of those subs when players get bored (shouldn't take too long, endgame is a disaster).
3) MoP was initially rejected by many Wow players as silly, kiddo nonsense and haven't bought it yet. Subs should increase over time if Blizzard successfully launches content patches, and as players learn that Pandas =/ Kung Fu. From everything I've read, MoP is a solid expansion and that should draw in ex-players over time.
Not really. I think I have a subscription which is currently still active (or ended maybe a few days ago) and I don't plan to purchase Mists of Pandaria. I am sure there are other people in similar situations who came back to check out 5.0 and decided to jump into MoP a bit later.

2.7 millions of any games is not a small feat. MoP is NOT by any consideration a flop, it is a financial success undeniably. To the 2.7 millions copy, you have to add at very least, 2.7 millions of month of sub, because you need to register at least a month to be able to play MoP.
However
This is less a success that wolk and cataclysm were and relatively speaking, i would say less a success than TBC was. Why do i say that.
Well TBC sold 2.4 millions in 24 hours and 3.51 millions in a month (i don't have the number for the first week). But TBC was release when wow had 5 millions players, cataclysm had 9 millions.
So for me relatively speaking, MoP is the least succesful WoW extension to date, but, time will tell the rest.
