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.

Bah! Excuses

But I would think that WCIII shared much of the same fanbase as SC although it came out years afterward (just like different iterations of AOE). Still, people play Starcraft much more than they do Warcraft III (assumption, but I think it's a pretty safe one).

A quick login shows me that far more people are playing WCIII and expansion then they are SC and expasion. Also WCIII>SC.
