Two anticipated titles, one on PC, one on PlayStation 3.

Which will wind up selling more copies?

Starcraft 2, of course. Do you ever play games or do you just talk about how much they sell?

Starcraft 2 will sell far more-no question. Indeed, I think that it is quite likely that it will break some sort of sales records.

In the end it's how much fun that matters, not how many cutscenes a game has.

yes its a more fun game and better game to YOU but you still can't compare them, there's a genre wall. You can't compare a RTS with Multiplayer to a thrid person hack and slash you cant say whats overall gonna be better for everyone else

lol well maybe a bad example to use, but some games are just fun, like Wii Sports, but as a whole gaming experience they are a pale shadow to games like Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Total War, etc. While these games aren't as "fun" they are a much more rewarding gaming experience.

Both, but I think this is relatively interesting as a friend of mine definitely believes God of War III will outsell StarCraft II because many more PlayStation 3 will be sold then.

That's like asking will Grand Theft Auto sell more than Barbie Dream House Shopping you know that right?

Starcraft is practically the Olympics, The World Cup, The World Series, The Super Bowl and all other sporting events rolled into one in Korea, not to mention college dorm rooms across the world. God of War won't sell as many copies in its life time as Starcraft will its first day.

It doesn't have to be it in order to do it. I don't remember The Sims being it, or GTA or something else... :)

You shouldn't be kidding...its true. SC2 will sell more units in SK than worldwide sales of GOW3. It's the national sport there.

Thus far, StarCraft II is in the lead. Yes. 8) Although I would not be surprised if it got outsold by God of War III.

The god of war series has always been a "low tier" million seller. It has never been in the range of Halo, call of duty or mario. Starcraft has.
