I would love to see the source of those so called gaming industry experts. Plus the game is 1 week old can't see how in 1 week he can beat all the established records that were made through a hole life cycle of the top sales games. Even though in korea it's not a success isn't relevant, Counter-Strike and Warcraft 3 aren't popular in korea and guess what, they are among the greatest esport games around. Korea is the reference in term of BroodWar, but Sc2 is a new game, not broodwar, and korea is irrelevent concerning the success or the fail of SC2. SC2 is doing great in europe and america (in fact it have already broken the BW sales record in UK, a record of 12 years broken in 5 days). The scene is moving fast, cologne is hosting a 15k tournement, ESL and MLG are investing a lot into SC2 and the EU/US community is loving the game, that's what's important. As for korea, it's their loss, they are missing a great game and maybe they will move to it later. | ||

now that Activision/Blizzard is milking their products so heavily (leaving so much by the wayside to do so) i wouldnt be surprised if this trend continued | ||

It's all about building a solid base and longevity. You cannot say whether it's been a success or failure until at least one year. | ||

Thing is while im pleased with sc2s single and multiplayer,you havent seen sc until you see Koreans playing it,its just something else entirely.I was hoping the two could exist in the e-sport scene together.Especially since people have proven sc2 has the "uh-ah" factor brood war had.Thats sad news indeed and it would definitely hurt its longevity. | ||

It has not failed in korea at all /shrug he is just being a bitch and saying it has off number that mean nothing and cause he does not want BW to die off. SC2 has just come out only been a few and they sold 1.8 million copies in north america and speculated #'s of 3-4 million in korea but those will not be know till blizzard realse them do to them all being digtal DL's. I really don't see now SC2 has failed or how it will fail lol | ||

Find me a single prominent person in the BW competitive scene who says that SC2 is a bad game, and then we'll talk. . I've seen korean progamers make fun of SC2. | ||
