Diablo 3 becomes the fastest selling PC game selling 3.5 million in the first day and 6.3 million in the first week.

This does not include the 1.2 million that got D3 through WoWs Annual Pass program nor does it include Korean sales.

When u got braggin rights, you got braggin rights

Interesting. We saw Amazon say it was the biggest pre-order they had ever had, but I, for one, didn't expect it to be quite this big this fast.

As an aside: my copy arrived yesterday (finally, USPS sucks ) and I'm salivating waiting to try it out.

Sad that people would support such intrusive DRM and repetitive gameplay that insists you repeat the same content over and over again.

If you saw how many it would be adding in Korean sales and WoW inaugral numbers, you guys would cry.

ActiBlizz is rich beyond your wildest dreams, 40% of gamers are playing D3 in Korea right now and we know there's got to be at least 500k suckers with an anual pass in WoW.

Had a feeling diablo would max out the sales chart.  Dont think we will be seeing number this large for any game for a very long time... prolly Diablo IV

People support all kind of crap, because all they think of is how much fun they think they will have no matter what the non-dollar price is. 

Damn good game, too!

Wow.

I knew this games sales were going to be crazy high. I just had to laugh at the posts of people saying blizzard had put a " nail in its coffin" with this release.

And people wonder why they had server & launch problems? With around 4 mil. people logging into Bnet in the 1st 24 hours its no wonder.

So much for the doom and gloomers, most of which probably bought it anyways. With no sub fee and standing on box sales alone D3 is a crazy success. People can bitch and moan all they want, if you bought it they have your money. Its not an MMO where " I quit" really even matters. All that does is free up some bandwith on the servers lol.

I wish they'd spend more of that amount into making truly exceptional and phenomenal games, instead of a rehash and repetition of the old, not even equaling their own old classics :-/

But hey, grats to the management and CEO's, I guess, their bonuses will be bigger again end of this year.

WTF does that have to do with anything? With the consoles pretty much dominating the games market, I for one, am glad to see a PC exclusive game do so well.

I think his point is that the quantity sold does not equate to the quality of the product.

      I think Blizzard could put poop in a box and it would sell 5 million......

It's all about having fun and not overthinking the "future of gaming".

I think that the point he was trying to make was numbers don't mean jack shit when it comes to the quality of something. I mean I'm personally indifferent to the game and dont really hate it so eh :\

Isn't that how the internet works?

"LOL, you're game only has x subs"

"Your games going f2p, because it fails"

"My game sold more copies than your"

"My game made more money than yours (but i didn't get any of it)"

After all, BF3 fans where all going "There's no way MW3 will sell more. We'll be number 1". Then it was "LOL, just because you sold more doesn't mean you're game's not a piece of sh**"

The internet rules clearly state that the sucess of a game and it's popularity is the determining factor for it's quality.

A problem is that a lot of people don't think at all of the "future of gaming", they are just in for the potential fun.

Aye, pathetic innit?

In so many aspects many people are happy to be DIFFERENT than the mass and pride themselves on having alternative and subjectively "better" preferences than the majority. Yet in gaming massive number really matter somehow.
