SearchEstimation: 1.8 million sold SC2 copies on day one
Posted by Patrik "Raistlin" Hellstrand 1 year ago
VGCharts.com estimates that StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty has sold in 1.8 million copies only on day one worldwide, excluding Korea.This puts StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty as the fastest-selling game of 2010 to date and one of the fastest-selling PC games of all time.
The Korean sales number remain untold at VGCharts, as the purchases are hard to accurately estimate. StarCraft 2 copies are said to be sold mainly via time cards, and the fact that all active World of WarCraft users will be able to play the game free of charge.
VGCharts further believe that 31% or 750,000 units were sold digitally via Battle.net.
World of WarCraft: Wrath of the Lich King, is the current record-holder for day 1 PC sales with a 2.8 million sales number.

| Woah, this is very nice, u can include me on that 1,8 million of people :) Maybe they already retrieved all the money which was spent to make the game xD |
| if 1 copy cost 40 euro that 72mill for day 1 not bad... |
| 750k ain't 31% of 1.8 million e: well, in the original article is posted 570k, so just little typo we all knew it was comming |
| 558 000 I belive is 31% |
| 558.000*40 E = 22.320.000 E gest for wings of liberty, think of the other sigle player copyes....WWWOOOOOWW blizzard kick ass in terms of eco....they know the strategy of taking money from ppl'spoket......evil i tell u, gest eeeevvillllll PS : btw, is this estimation for PC copyes only or total...??? if is this is only for PC ...i mean wtf..... i mean......WTF.....blizzard OMG total humiliation... |
| These numbers don't even include Korea. I think the real number is closer to 3 million. |
| I hope more people will open their eyes for RTS and SC2 and buy it so we can have it in the Olympics ^^ Nah, but at least get coverage as a real sport :) |
| not bad |
| You can +1 to that tally once I purchase the game :) I think Blizzard are the only ones who know the true number of sales (including Korea). Hopefully they'll release some figures in the coming week(s). Should be interesting. |
| +1 |
| Seams a small number, i was expecting more. |
