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 | ||

Yes i know that is the same as 4,381,978 but writing a number with a decimal in it makes you seem about 87.4 times smarter, 8,6% of people know that! | ||

SC2 is a game only sold on PC to a just more hardcore/dedicated market in a less marketable period of time. I guess thats why my original guess was 2.5mil, but I expect that number to go up after the holiday season,e tc. Now that I think about it though I think my 2.5m might be underestimating it somewhat, I can't wait to see :D | ||

You never know what's gonna happen. After all, Magic the Gathering, when it first came out, sold out in a couple of weeks when the first batch of supply was supposed to last months. I say about 2 million in the first week. | ||

I'd be ashamed of SCII doesn't at least surpass that. Of course, since SCII is PC only, the sales will be somewhat limited. But I believe. | ||

But I believe. you guys seem to forget that the potential audience for sc is much much smaller than for some more mainstream genres and titles, not to mention that sc is pc only. ffs its an orthodox rts in an era when games only sell when they have NEXT GEN tags attached to them | ||

Main limiting factor being that the game is PC only and a massive chunk of gamers now a days only play console games. | ||

There are far more console adopters I would say, and FPS is a far more popular genre than RTS. The marketing for MW2 was also fucking ridiculous. | ||

http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/81021/starcraft-ii-hits-800000-pre-orders-in-the-americas/ 800 preorders in THE AMERICAS ALONE. Expected to reach 2 million hard copy sales, and potentially 1 million more digital sales. Estimates say 10-12 million copies might be sold just by the end of 2010 (5 months) Looks like a lot of us have been underestimating the whole time, when this has potentials to hit 3-5 million in the first week alone | ||
