    Poor World of Warcraft, always the bridesmaid. Never the bride.

    Notice the placement. WoW has all along been the first from left. Not anymore.
    Or maybe... They put their 2 shooters on the ends, Wow next to hearthstone, SC1 and 2 together, and then dibbles. Looking too far into it. They could have put dibbles on the end and kept them by genre with the shooters together... but they paired everything by universe.

    Can you share actual numbers? I'm just going by what I heard last..

    'Probably' does not really sound as 'actual numbers'.

    WoW certainly makes much more than hearthstone - more than 1bn per year. How much is actually net income neither of us can know.

    Cool. The more then a decade old mmo which has be (slowly) declining is less popular then the new popular team based shooter.

    Colour me shocked.

    On a serious note, this really doesn't matter. So long as wow is profitable it'll continue

    Where's @Amalaric to not give us evidence that literally no one plays Overwatch and that it's a dead game?

    WoW doesn't have much left in it. 2-3 years and WoW will have a stable 1M or less playerbase. if it doesnt have it already. While Overwatch will keep growing for the next years.

    This looks fake as hell. How is maplestory still in there? maplestory died around 2010. When the game went very casual mode and almost everyone left.

    Too many opinions, not a single fact.

    I like it when story character and in game character have some tiny amount of resemblance. but not when characters are shown to by hyper-competent in cut-scenes, but in game is like they're moving through 4 feet of muck and they can't use their abilities/weapons right(where the fuck is reapers goddamned grenade launchers!?)

    Overwatch makes more money? Maybe.

    Hearthstone? Doubtful, albeit its low production costs probably ensures a better return per $ invested.

    For a 12 years old game, WoW is still making a ton of money, from subs, services, cash shop, tokens, and box sales per expansion. That's all Blizzard cares about.

    While not definitive, statements made in shareholder meetings do agree with him.

    "Blizzard released Overwatch in May, and the first-person shooter has since become “the most successful intellectual property in our company’s history,” said Thomas Tippl, Activision Blizzard’s chief operating officer, during an investor call today."

    You have been falling into holes every single post. All that to avoid saying "I was wrong". Pathetic.
    That figure includes digital sales of games & subscriptions, even if you count a third of all Overwatch total sales since launch and exclude every other game sale in the quarter a year after release (10 million copies) & add all of wow's subscriptions it doesn't come up to $1.1 billion.

    What else did they sell? Call Of Duty? Destiny 1?

    That numbers also EXCLUDES retail sales of all games - including Overwatch on console.

    Blizzard have even said the big boon of the quarter was Overwatch loot crate sales but for arguments sake I'll say that loot crates don't account for most of the game's revenue, you'd still be wrong as this whole crap started with you saying Overwatch revenue was falling off due to a lack of box sales and it was declining faster than wow.

    It can't be both

    Like I said at the start, wow makes the most money but Overwatch isn't failing - apart from competitively, which isn't new for Blizzard.

    Overwatch is only populair because of the rule34 it brings with it. I bought it and can't really get used to it.
