I think you underestimate Starcraft. Just remember that it's following is HUGE and has been around longer and is more loyal than Modern Warfare's. MW2 is big for now, SC2 will be big forever. Hell, you can still buy brand new copies of the original. I just saw about 5 at Best Buy, and they're actually selling.

I think you overestimate it :P

You are basically saying that the sequel will double the sales of the original.

Now this may has happened, but can you name any sequel that doubled the sales of it's predecessor in the same genre (RTS)

I don't know about doubling but modern warfare 2 has massively outsold the original. Yes I know that it was the first call of duty game, but starcraft has picked up a huge amount of goodwill in the 12 years since its release.

EDIT just read the RTS bit. Warcraft to warcraft 2 did it, at least according to vgchartz data. And hey its a Blizzard title!
