Lineage has sold 14 million copies word wide in the same timeframe. (check wiki for all time PC games sales).
And you unwittingly proved my point. You can't have it both ways Joe, either Starcraft was popular when it came out, or it reached it potential recently? Since you are saying they now have TV shows and such (which is fairly recent development) compared to when Starcraft first came out (and I disagree it was initially panned), wouldn't you think that its reached is apex?
Sorry, but Starcraft is as much a niche title as Super Smash Bros. The "Joe Gamer" doesn't give a crap about these titles, and this generation, as the Wii has shown is ALL ABOUT JOE GAMER.
Hardcore has peaked.
I think you have a minor point about Blizzard being even larger today, but don't believe that any WoW converts that haven't already purchased SC1 will be interested in SC2.
So again, I ask, where's this magical growth for Starcraft coming from? I feel it will eventually sell a million more than Starscraft1, but 14 million is nothing more than exuberant without any sort of factual basis.
It's so funny, I try to use logic to explain my positions, and all I ever get in return is, MAGIC BEANS from many responders.
I mean really, you've resorted to quoting Blizzard's popularity because of WoW as a basis for increased sales like Wow players have been living under a rock for 10 years. (wait a second...).
In short I will probably be downbid for trying to explain why NOT 4 million in growth, while you will be unharmed for NOT explaining 4 million sales in growth. Such is life towing TSE line.
