More StarCraft II Sales Figures

With StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty sitting atop the UK multi-format sales charts, the first PC-only title to top that list so far this year, MCV points out that Blizzard's real-time strategy sequel has sold more copies in the UK in five days that the original StarCraft has sold over its 12-year lifespan. This is all the more impressive when knowing this is purely based on physical copies, and does not account for digital distribution.

Can't remember who said it, Chris Taylor?, but he said:

PC gaming as we know it is dead. Secure gaming is the way of the future.

I keep hearing those words when I read the idiot DRM schemes that consumers keep having to deal with to play PC games. I recall everyone scoffed at him for saying it at the time.

Seems it's the norm today and people are "fine" with it. And I think I misunderstood the PC gaming market when I initially thought that these schemes would be rejected. I did not consider that a gamer with a PC means they have considerably more money to spend on gaming than your average console owner. And those are dollars that have not been exploited from them in the past so it's simply the laws of supply and demand taking over. PC gamers can afford to pay more for games so companies are going to charge more.

These systems are starting to be incorporated into the console side as well and I'm interested to see how sales are affected. I think madden 11 will be one of the first big tests.
