So if the typical WoW purchaser eventually spends $250 (WoW+TBC+wotlk+$15/mo) and if the console manufacturer (Sony & Microsoft) extracts a fee to publish, then a copy of WoW could be ten times more profitable than a console sale. Personally, my opinion is that WotLK has lost its way. In trying to lure a few hundred thousand WAR/FPS players in a very crowded market, they are alienating millions of players that have been unique for WoW.
