"A comparison of the first quarters of 2007 and 2008 is not representative because the first quarter of 2007 included the hugely successful release of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade," the report said.
"Blizzard Entertainment's [http://www.blizzard.com] second expansion, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, is scheduled to be released in the second half of 2008.
