What about sales in Korea? :P
PC games and retail don't really work these days, except for the retails sold at cd-key websites most people just download them online, I bought SC2 and all its expensions online also, but good job blizzard, its a very good game
Odd how you only count retail and yet it sold over 1 mil during launch http://www.shacknews.com/article/92173/starcraft-2-legacy-of-the-void-sells-over-1-million-copies-on-launch-day
It would still be more beneficial to gather digital data whenever possible, Blizzard aren't like Steam so they don't hide such data since it has to be given like Activision does with their statements, digital sales on PC are much higher than physical retail store bought sales.
Still this game is pretty damn good and is selling well enough for Blizzard as always.
It's not odd at all, they reported on the 1 million figure too: http://www.vgchartz.com/article/262025/starcraft-ii-legacy-of-the-void-sales-top-1-million-units/ - This article is just for physical because that's all VGC themselves presently estimate, and this article is about their numbers. They release something like this along with every major release.
Kind of shocked the retail sold anywhere close to that. Must be the people with horrible internet.
Give us a console version Blizzard, I know m&k is superior to gamepad but we need some rts love on consoles too!
I don't see them doing that tbh, SC has always been a PC game first and foremost and in making a console game would mean sacrificing aspects that make the game so great, especially with how competitive and fast paced it is, it;s impossible to play the game competitively with a gamepad and that's an actual fact due to the nature of the game with K+M.
