The only reason certain other games aren't doing the same thing is because the came out on consoles and shops stop selling games for old consoles while they keep selling old pc games.

I imagine that Ocarina of Time and FF7 would probably both be pulling decent numbers if they were PC games.

No... because FF7 was indeed a PC game.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

Also FF7 is being sold in some stores as greatest hit title.

Being sold as a greatest hits title is not the same. Starcrafts battlechest is still for sale for hecks sake!

All Blizzard games are really great legs. Just look at wow, starcraft 2 and diable 3 will continue this trend. BTW I still have both games installed on my mac.

Yea console games will never have the same legs, but you could say that virtual console shows that there is still tons of demand for older games. Still they wouldn't all be charting in the top 10 after 10 years.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

i hope not the one we have its annoying enough :P,

but as legs, only blizzard games manage to do that, i don't think starcraft 2 will have the same effect in legs.

StarcraftII will have huge initial sales, but i wouldn't be surprised if Starcraft I is still in the top 20 when Starcraft II drops out of it.

Starcraft I was such a classic, genre defining game

Starcraft II isn't
