diablo 3 serves to highlight everything that is wrong with the assumption that the participants in prediction markets are rational. i think the term that applies here in particular is "irrational exuberance" :) combine that with the name "blizzard" and its a recipe for seriously overvalued numbers.
as far as the sames numbers go, i cant for the life of me find where i saw that estimate... but ive seen those numbers thrown around more than a few times over the last year...
the idea that diablo 3 will have lifetime sales approaching or exceeding 15 million is utterly ludicrous.
