StarCraft II Outsells StarCraft in the UK
In just a hebdomad, StarCraft II has sold more copies in the UK than its venerable elder brother StarCraft had sold over twelve years.
And they say PC gaming is dead: RTS bigwig StarCraft zerg rushed gross revenue charts following its midnight launch unalterable hebdomad. It topped the all-formats graph in the UK, knocking the entire list down a spot – becoming the first Microcomputer-exclusive title to do so in all of 2010 (and presumably since The Sims 3).
Reported to Chart-Track, StarCraft II racked up more sales of boxed copies in the UK in a week than the first StarCraft did over its lifetime. Given that the sources doubtful only track sales of boxed copies, information technology's possible that SC2 Crataegus laevigata actually have got sold eventide better than listed when factorization in digital distribution.
Back in 1998, StarCraft entered the all-format charts at #24, and wasn't straight the best-selling PC game of the week (that honor went to Star Wars Supremacy). My, how things modify.
Here's the full tilt:
