Diablo 3 fastest selling exclusive ever PC Annihilation Continuation

Diablo 3 sells 10 million in less than 3 months. Confirming PC gaming is bigger than ever. Halo 4 will be lucky to achieve half of that number in the same time period and will be overshadowed by Planetside 2.

That doesn't stop it from being one of the most disappointing games of this year (at the very least) and possibly all time, though. Also, it sold 8.8 million. There is a difference between selling 8.8 million and selling 10 million.charizard1605

Counting the annual pass is still a sell for the game. The only thing Blizzard is out is 4 months of the WoW subscription.

Now if only the game had been, I don't know, worth the wait.

Definitely a disappointing launch, but the hype was to damn high. In a few months they'll have it patched up and it will be awesome.

I enjoyed it, it's just the end game content is terrible at the moment.

I bought 4 copies, 3 for friends and family. No one plays it anymore, biggest disappointment for me as far as PC gaming goes.

Too bad Diablo 3 really doesn't deserve those sales. One of the biggest disappointments of the gen.

That's amazing. Not interested in buying it myself, but damn. The game must be doing something right to hit 10 million in just three months.

no pvp lol what kind of diablo ga...i don't even know ... no i just playing i know it good

pc has always been relevant when blizzard releases its the most well known pc games

even i wanna play D3 but know my netbook ain't handling that

but in the sake for system wars pc still sucks lol D3 has been made for consoles in mind

its sad even the biggest PC games are looking to greener pastures

can't be the best when developers goals are to get popular n make that trek to heaven (console gaming)

i put over 100 hours in to it, i wouldn't say its bad, its good, but not compared to D2.

good numbers anyway

ITT: diablo 3 is the new COD :lol:

No PC annihialation here...

As far as I'm concerned,these sales are a stain on the face of PC gaming...

It didn't deserve those sales BY far.

I've played Diablo 3 myself, the gameplay was just boring and repetetive, the story was bad, awfull characters and villains. After I completed normal mode I could barely get myself to play trough Hell difficulty, its just the very same game but with harder bosses. Which weren't that hard for me.

Its a pretty sad view that such a mediocore game gets all those sales, it deserves a score of 6.5 max.

This is also why I depise most of the Blizzard community, they hype up games so badly while in fact they're just as mediocore as any other game.

To bad the game is not that good at all. It just sold good because Diablo 2 was so good. This is one of my biggest disappointment's this gen. I am a big D2 fan but D3 is just crap.

Lol at people complainign about the "end game".

Diablo was never an MMO, was never supposed to be an MMO.

It's like beating Max Payne 3 and complaining about it's end game.

It's an action RPG with heavy loot mechanics. It's not supposed to last you for 5 years. It's supposed to provide you with tens fo hours fo fun until an expansion, when it will provide you with tens of hours of more fun.

This is the nature of the hype it was supposed to meet somewhow... magically, by the divine powers of the magic fairy queen. A game that was fun for 1,000 hours or more.

What f'ing game has EVER represented that to ANYONE OF YOU?

1000 hours of gameplay? Well for me, Warcraft 3, WoW, Dota, Dota 2, TF2 (only on 500 or so though), CSS, CS 1.6, Call of duty 1, Rome total war.. and that's what I can remember right now. I don't buy many games infact I probably only buy 3-5 a year on average, but when I do I sink tons of hours into them.

The structure of those games is fundamentally different. They are either purely multi-player competative arenas, or strategy games.

Saying Diablo 3's end game sucks is like saying DOTA 2's storyline sucks. Or Total War's loot sucks.

It does not compute.

Honestly it was disappointing. Maybe a patch or a healthy expansion will bring it to it's full potential.

I wonder how much The War Z will sell

yeah 8.8 million people bought it and play it because it's dissapointing, great logic there champ

Yeah 8.8 million people bought because of hype and they "played" it. Most active players now is professional farmers. Saw one interview there one farmer had 100diablo3 accounts running bots....

Too bad there is only 4000 people playing atm... lol thats what, like 0.004%

its funny because nobody asked your insignificant opinion about diablo 3 deserving the sales or not.SamiRDuran

That is called damage control at it's finest.

Noice. Game's got issues that need working on. But me and my two buddies play Inferno together and hoo doggy what a gas.NAPK1NS

Love me some Diablo.... but D3 has 2 flaws I just can't get past.

1. Loot - with 400+ hours into the game I've found 1... count it ONE Set Piece Item... really Blizzard... REALLY?! I have about 350 hours into my Witch Doc. and I can tell you the loot system is broken. I find all kinds of Barb. & DH Gear... but very very little WD specific stuff....

2. Loot - (wait thats the same as your 1st gripe) yeah, but a whole different problem ---- Legendary weapons / Gear is 99% CRAP.... Rares and some regular magical gear is far better than any legendary weapon, and the set piece gear is mostly trash as well, but hey thats okay... cuz it never ****ing drops!

3. Loot - Wait.. you said 2 flaws.... yeah but I remembered a 3rd.... then why not change your "2" to a "3".... Hmmm.... good point.... why am I even typing this... right, well to my 3rd point..... IF THIS GAME IS ONLINE ALWAYS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO ENCOURAGE TEAM PLAY.... THEN WHY THE FRACK IS MY MAGIC FIND GEAR AVERAGED OUT AMONGST OTHERS IF I AM IN THEIR GAME OR VICE VERSA! for example: my MF is 300.... friends MF is 0..... we join a game together..... we now have 150 MF each.... WTF?

Too bad the loot sucks. Legendaries and set items are joke. So there isn't really any reason to farm after you've beaten Diablo on inferno. In D2 uniques had unique stats that made them fun, extremely powerful and useful even when they were much below your level.

Even though I'm PC only,I agree,you're correct...

It's indeed an irony.If anyone gets owned by this thread,it's the TC,and the ones who support him...

D3 sucks. TW2 should've gotten those sales.silversix_
