yes, i agree with you.

I haven't tried the onlin yet.... but it should easely get to 10M from previous owners (the now 40 year old guy with 2 kids will buy it for his laptop, for old time's sake...) and any new core PC gamer from the past 6 years that has no idea what a protos or a zerg is will still buy it because of all the press. 15M is a definite target. 20M is possible. But still RTS is kind of a niche genre... and not casual friendly (in appearance cause you just need a mouse to play the game.... though I guess the keyboard is necessary for brutal... dunno I just play in hard :p)

Now it's certain to sell 20 millions I think. Starcraft 2 is selling WAY faster than Starcraft 1.

Starcraft 2 sold 3 millions in it's first month.

Starcraft sold 1.5 million in it's first 9 months.

Several questions. That figure would be digital and retail correct?

Does the 3 million include South Korea?

The figures given are for worldwide sales, so yeah, that includes South Korea. The press release didn't explicitly state whether it was retail and DD combined, but it'd be a bit odd just to give retail only figures.

Nein. Unless maybe it includes battle.net sales.

I don't know if it's retail and digital combined. It would make sense that it was both, but Activision never released digital sales of PC games before.

Either way, this 3 million figure doesn't take into account the revenue gotten from subscriptions, which Starcraft 2 has in some countries.

I think Myst sold something like 27 million copies.
