wow! such huge numbers!My big worries for it to reach such success are: a)will the game run looking good on all hardwares? I think starcraft did so great because it ran amazingly great on every hardware and it's grandfather. But a lot of that was because the graphics was prerendered... can this still be done with 3d? Will it run looking great on a onboard card or a fx5200? I know i was even able to play starcraft ona 133mhz laptop... b)is the pc gaming market able to sustain such a big hit? I see a lot of the sales going to consoles recently and as they now have harddrives and internet so widespread this may happen even more. Of course this doesnt apply to strategy games... but still
anyway, huge numbers. Not saying they aren't justified, certanly not with blizzard behind them and the ladder chapnionships i imagine tehy'll make, just amazed at their hugeness
