I think I read somewhere that Analyst Micheal Pachter said that Diablo 3 will sell more than the Wii U. Not sure where I saw that, maybe I just made it up.

OT: I hope that Diablo sells much more than that! One of the only computer games that I have ever played. Diablo 2 was 100's of hours of fun. Although I think I played Diablo 1 on my PS more than on the computer. Just because I do not like computer games too much.

What so you didn't like the rampant cheating that went on during Diablo 1 on PC?  I remember all the fools that went around with regular God Mode.  They should have used Fake God Mode 2 which actually shows damage being taken off but when you get to 1 health (it fills to the top again like you just took a full health potion).  I could stand there for 10-15 mins with people hacking at me thinking they could kill me....  Yea I cheated for PVP...  but only after 80+% of the Diablo 1 user base started cheating.  Least I used the funnier cheats and gave people hope of one day killing me.

Meh, Diablo 1 was easy enough with the Rogue class, using cheats on it was overkill. I was never much into PVP back on the Diablo days, I only discovered it's joys on DII, which while they were cheat free, it did a couple of extremely nagging exploits (SummonNecro lag, Bone Prison Town Portals, TP Killing, etc.) that were hair-tearing sometimes.
