Last year Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 shattered box office and video game records with a worldwide estimated five-day sale of approximately $550 million. This year, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty sold 1.5 million copies in the first 48 hours. The original StarCraft was sold about 11 million copies for the past 12 years, but it only managed to hit 1.5 million the first year.
This officially makes StarCraft II the fastest selling real-time strategy game of all time and also the most successful PC game launch of 2010 so far. Analysts have already predicted that StarCraft II will sell upwards of five million copies in its first year, but from the look of the first 48 hours sales, it will beat that estimation.
