Starcraft II sells 3 million

Real time strategy behemoth Starcraft II has sold 3 million copies worldwide in its first month of release. That’s a lot of zerg rushes.

Blizzard claims that the game is the bestselling PC game of 2010 and the fastest selling RTS of all time. With 3 million sales and plenty of rave reviews; it’s hard to dispute that.

“We appreciate all the enthusiasm that players around the world have shown for StarCraft II,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “It was important to us to deliver an overall gameplay experience that was accessible, balanced, and fun, and it’s been gratifying to see how strongly the global community has already embraced the game.”
