Pachter on Starcraft 2 sales,
"I think they'll sell 5-6 million units quickly, 9-10 million eventually"
"same kind of #'s for Diablo 3, maybe smaller, due to smaller online fanbase"
"but I do think new Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 players are going to pay something to get onto Battlenet to play multiplayer"
"I think that's part of Blizzard's business model and why Activision and Blizzard got together"
"that's going to impact the overall sales of those games... depending on how much they charge"
"if Battlenet is $3 a month there gonna get 6-8 million players if it's $25 a month (just for example) there gonna get 1 million players"
"so let's see what they're gonna charge that's gonna determine the outcome (of Starcraft 2 & Diablo 3 sales)"
Has anyone priced in a possible charge for Battlenet into their Starcraft 2 prediction?
