StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty sold more than a million copies in 24 hours and 1.5 million copies over the first 48 hours of availability, announces Blizzard. They say this makes the real-time strategy sequel the biggest PC game launch of the year, and that this sets a record "for fastest-selling strategy game of all time."

...though I wish to God that they'd get some project management skills - 12 years for a sequel? Seriously?!?
Keep in mind, in those 12 years we saw Diablo 2 + expansion, Warcraft 3 + expansion, World of Warcraft + 2 expansions, and at least 2 canceled games (that we know of).
It's not like they've been doing nothing. They never had a huge staff (by industry standards) until World of Warcraft became as big as it did.
