Bejeweled and Bejeweled 2
As of August 19th 2008, Beweled franchise hits 25 millions sold.
Ofcourse it includes mobile versions, but PC is where it's at. It's been almost a year since this last figure but Bejeweled and Bejeweled 2 didn't stop selling, so the 25 millions figure can be considered outdated.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
If the X360 version reached 7.5 millions, I don't see why the PC version wouldn't be able to reach 10 millions, especially considered it is still selling well, coming in and out of D2D and Steam's top sellers list.
I have always said that COD4 would reach 10 millions on PC eventually. Unfortunately there's no proof of how much it sold except for the fact that in it's first years it was always one of the top 5 selling PC games every month, selling on par with WoW and Sims but had the advantage of being sold great on several digital services like Steam (and still is).
Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike: Source
CS sold 4.2 millions on retail and CS:S sold 2.9 millions (as of December 3rd 2008), but the digital sales of both games should easily dwarf those figures. CS:S still reaches 90k-100k concurrent players in it's peak, 5 years after it's release (CS has 60k-70k concurrent players peak). Both games still sell on retail and digitally (CS:S is always on Steam's Top Ten sellers, and both CS:S and CS appear every now and then on retail top sellers lists).
Diablo 2 and Diablo 2: LOD
As of June 28th 2008, Diablo franchise has sold 18.5 millions copies (source). Diablo 1 sold 2.5 millions copies (source), and Diablo 1's expansion probably didn't sell much since it had poor reviews and wasn't even made by Blizzard, but let's give 1 more million for D1+Expansion as a safety measure.
That leaves 15 millions copies for Diablo 2 and it's expansion. Since it's Blizzard, I expect most sales to be from Battlechests (they count Battlechests as 1 copy even though it has both original game and expansion) . Plus the unaccounted past year which probably gave Diablo 2 and LOD maybe another millions sales. Yeah, I'd say Diablo 2 and Lord of Destruction have reached 10 millions sold each (or will soon enough).
Half-Life and Half-Life 2
Half-life: 9.3 millions sold on retail (source is same as the CS games), plus whatever sales from Steam. 100% 10 million-seller.
Half-Life 2: 6.5 millions on retail + 3 millions from Orange Box + Steam sales = 100% 10 million-seller.
Lineage and Lineage 2
Lineage franchise sold over 43 millions copies (source). Lineage 2 has over 14 millions costumers (source), while Lineage 1 was even more successful than it's sequel ever during it's peak (source).
Peggle
Peggle sold 25 millions across all platforms (source), however PC is the main version and as sold for longest.
Sims and Sims 2
Not bothering with this one.
Starcraft and Broodwar
As of February 11th 2009, the series sold 11 millions (source). Like Any other Blizzard game, I expect the large majority of sales to be from Battlechests, and I'm sure it could sell a couple more millions until it fizzles out. And it's now available digitally on Blizzard's store even.
WoW and Burning Crusade
WoW no doubt by far surpassed the 10 million figure. Burning Crusade sold 3.5 millions in the first month (source) and has never left top PC charts since, so nothing to doubt here.
