Searching Google is only really useful around the time of release (with a suitable time window either side).
If that were true, I would expect World of Warcraft's google search curve to have flatlined long ago, but instead it's still going strong. What's driving all those queries if not user interest?
I certainly agree that other sources of data will show things that Google query history doesn't, but that huge signal for WoW has to mean something.
