Also, for those who think that Starcraft is so incredibly better than the AOE series. AOE 2 is at 92% and Starcraft is at 93% on GameRankings.

GameRanking means very little when you consider how each have stood the test of time. Starcraft, up until recently, was still widely played online. It is also mentioned in several 'best games of all time' lists because of that very reason.

Undoubtedly, both are great games, but Starcraft stuck around longer for a reason.

 

 

That's because there was no sequel to steal away Starcraft's fans.  :P

Age fans are now divided between Age of Empires II, Age of Mythology (where I fall), and Age of Empires III.  The Age of Empires series (not including Mythology, from what I understand), has thus far sold over 20 million units.

 

The grand majority of SC players transitioned to WC3. And the reason there was no sequel, is because great games can last longer before being replaced. That's why blizzard is pretty much the only company... ever... that can release a success of epic proportions are wait a decade for its next installment. Better to do things better than everyone else, and then take your time and do it again...
