@Jamix012, Well, it is possible to have an expansion sell more than the original. You can have new users, for instance.
On a side note, are we including digital distribution to the numbers that we have? If not, then there's another possible reason; WoW players who didn't buy the game retail who bought retail copies.
A more appropriate comparison would have been the first expansion numbers, which we are currently predicting to sell/have sold 10.79M.
VGChartz's accuracy issues aside, I would have to agree with you that an expansion selling more than a million over its base game is a bit screwy.
