I get your point. I really do. But I disagree with your rhetoric. "Bomb" is not the correct term to use at all, in any measure of the word. It sold *millions* of copies in it's first month. Even in December of 2011, it was STILL in the top 10 list of best selling games for the month. (To be fair, so was WoW... but still.)

It's not as awesome by comparison to other Blizzard games. But I assure you, *any* and *every* other game publisher and/or developer would *love love love* to have a game ship 4 million in it's first month and then continue to sell at LAUNCH PRICE up to a year later and still make the charts. That's astonishing and wondrous.
