most of these games are plain trash,and the sales cant compete against console games

I'll bet both my nuts, that SC2 will be the best selling game of '09. And when all is said and done, by the time SC3 rolls around it will have out-sold Halo 3 hadidly.

Ooh, that is a close bet there.  The original is sitting at 9.5 mil and that is pretty close to Halo 3's sales.  Although there are more people gaming these days, so that will help.  But is the RTS genre as big as it was?

Oh, It already outsold Halo 3. If I'm not mistaken Halo 3 is at 9 mil. I also highly doubt the legs of Halo 3 will be as fantastic as SC's.

Starcraft didn't outsell Halo 3, H3 just hasn't caught up yet.

It will within another year, though.

And you're wrong - Mario Kart Wii will pobably outsellf SC2 this year, alongside everything else.

And you don't think Starcraft is still selling? If I remember well, the 9.5 millions figure was taken in 2007, before the announcement of Starcraft 2. And I remember Starcraft had a spike in sales right after SC2's annoucement, so it's possible it has reached 10 millions by now.
