StarCraft II Sales Break 3 Million Mark
We already know StarCraft II is a popular game – having sold 1.5 million units in the 48 hours after its release. Activision provided another update today, adding that worldwide sales have passed the 3-million mark in the first month at retail. According to analysts, Activision Blizzard could see the number grow to 5-6 million units before the end of the year. We don’t foresee that being a problem if the current momentum continues.
“We appreciate all the enthusiasm that players around the world have shown for StarCraft II," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "It was important to us to deliver an overall gameplay experience that was accessible, balanced, and fun, and it's been gratifying to see how strongly the global community has already embraced the game.”
