So me and a few guys in vent were having a discussion, how many sales do you think (# of copies sold, online, etc.) Starcraft 2 will have upon release?

My guess is that 2.5 million copies will be sold in the first week

Azz - 4.5 million

Redscare - 6 million

Whoever posts on here and gets the closest number, ionno, wins an e-cookie, but this is just a fun little contest we're messing around about here in vent

I'll update this post with more peoples guesses as they come in

Each one of the SC nerds will probably get 3 versions (US, EU, KR) so whatever number you have in your mind right now, x3 it.

It's jsut for fun, whoever is closest lol. I just am interested in seeing what some peoples estimates are. I mean I've never seen a PC game as publicized as Starcraft 2 currently is, and with the following it already has, the 5 month long beta, etc. The publicity is out there, its on the front page of yahoo.com, on espn, other channels. I just think that Starcraft 2 is ready to just break records, lots of records.

So I'm just here to see what some peopel think, and I think it'd be fun for all of us to look back and see who's guesses were close :3

Oh and just as a reference. Halo 3, which was probably one of the biggest midnight release titles of all time, sold 300 million dollars worth of copies worldwide in the first week. Halo 3 is a console game though so a differetn following, and mostly an american game and not as popular wolrdwide as starcraft.

300 million dollars at 60 bucks a copy is 5 million copies sold.

So yes maybe that can be used for reference everyone :D
