Attach rate? I consider it a separate product. The feature set hasn't changed that much, but they have made some progress towards the "hook", though I think it's too little too late.To be clear, I have no intention of buying RoS at release. I think it's a $20 (at best) xpac that they're charging us an additional $20 to fix some of the retarded shit Jay Wilson and co. put into the game that should have been shot down at the design stage.
I too wish that D3 had actually bombed, but it didn't. I think you're going to be disappointed if you expect anything different from RoS sales figures. Obviously it won't have anywhere near a 100% attach rate, but it doesn't have to when they're selling it for $40 and there's no way in hell it had remotely close to 66% of the budget of the original game.
I predict 2.5-3.0M digital, max. This could vary, but I think their marketing has taken a big hit from corp, as I haven't seen the same level of outreach that vanilla had.
Regardless, they aren't looking at anywhere near the 10-15M mark; nowhere close. They simply won't get there, not even 50% of that number, in the next year. Which is - in some ways - a disappointment for any Diablo fan who thinks they are moving in the right direction.
One thing that's not clear to everyone - what is it Activision is expecting (demanding) from Diablo 3, year-over-year, and how that is impacting future resources for the team. /shrug
