That's because Sony spits out expansions every 6 months and Blizzard hasn't released a single one yet. They give out content for free every content patch (usually a lot of stuff) and then have one major expansion instead of adding miniscule details to the game for $19.99 every few months. I remember when EQ2 came out that an expansion for it already released like 3 months after it debuted. 3 months?? Having expansions come out twice a year for $19.99 is just the same as having 1 expansion come out after TWO years for $39.99. Most MMOs have expansions way more distributed than WoW.
*EDIT*
Wow, it's way worse than I thought. EQ2 is on the virge of releasing their THIRD expansion, with 3 "Adventure Packs" already released. That makes 6 buyable content expansions compared to WoW's 1.
