StarCraft II Sells 3M

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty has sold over 3 million copies worldwide in its first month of availability, announces Blizzard, saying this builds on the game’s momentum as the bestselling PC game of 2010 and the fastest-selling real-time strategy game of all time. "We appreciate all the enthusiasm that players around the world have shown for StarCraft II," says 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."

And for the time being you have resale rights on console games which makes the end pricing as low as $30 (on average) for most consumers to play console games.

If saving money is a greater priority to you than playing at higher resolutions, AA, AF, framerates, etc, then you could theoretically get PC games for $0. Just sayin'.

It really comes down to what you care about most. I don't care about the ability to resell games because I don't sell games nor do I buy them used. I do, however, buy them new so the $10-20 lower price of PC games is nice. I also enjoy playing at 1920x1080 with 8X AA and 16X AF at 60 FPS. I enjoy the flexibility of being able to choose the best control scheme for any given game. I enjoy the ability to use mods to extend the longevity of games or fix design issues. I enjoy having access to the largest library of games on any platform.

If you can't see the appeal of PC gaming, I think we have very different priorities.
