SC1 hasn't even sold through more then 10million worldwide. As of 10 months ago it was at 9.5 million, with 4 million in Korea alone. Original source: http://playnoevil.com/serendipity/index.php?/archives/1252-Starcraft-Total-Sales-How-long-is-the-Long-Tail.html
Just because SC is a big title the market for RTS is small, and a major part of that reason is because the market for PC games itself is much smaller then console games.
It's almost impossible for PC games to break the 10 million mark and I highly doubt it will be any different here.
SC gets a lot of press and hype because Blizzard is a money machine but that's all it is in the end... hype.
