No auction house? No problem — Diablo III: Reaper of Souls sales surpass 2.7 million in first week

The grim reaper could probably afford some new robes and a diamond encrusted scythe pretty soon.

Blizzard revealed that it has sold over 2.7 million copies of its first Diablo III expansion, Reaper of Souls. That number includes both retail and digital sales of the $40 add-on. The new content has players fighting their way through dungeons to eventually take on the Angel of Death. The release and early success of Reaper of Souls represents the completion of a turnaround for Blizzard. Fans had many issues with the original Diablo III. The developer has since changed a number of things about the action role player including removing the controversial real-money auction house.
