People who want a fun action game. Or people who want the next part of the story. Maybe even people who enjoy a game from a company that takes time to polish games.
What will you be playing while we all play Diablo III? (Special bonus points if you can respond without cursing at me, calling me a child, or mentioning WoW).
My point is that it is okay for someone to disagree you. That does not a priori mean that said person is a moron despite what you may choose to believe.
I expect Diablo III will outsell every other game in HISTORY after they show us more info/classes about the game as time goes on.
The only thing that might prevent it being so, is if we try the beta and we dont like it. Or whatever happened to hellgate london happens here, but I highly highly doubt that will happen to diablo 3.
If they add sick storyline like diablo 1, i will buy 2 copies
I don't know why you would think that, people like to spend their money. Example, Carter 3 sold 1 million copies in the first week, and seeing as this is probably 100x better, I wouldn't worry.
All hype. Almost no one cared about wayne until he started talking about how he was the greatest rapper ever, how he and jesus where from mars, and more or less not making any god damn sense.
And it's sad to say, I think he's he still better than 70% of the other rappers out there.
Honestly in today's market games sell on name alone most of the time. Just look at half of the consoles' library out there. Alot of them are mediocre at best but because they bare the names Devil May Cry, Mario, Zelda, Smash Brothers, Halo and to a lesser extent Metal Gear (Though Hideo did outdo himself I must admit). Blizzard is one of the few companies that still put uber amounts of time into a game that is worth almost triple your money's worth if not in dollar amount then in time. Quite frankly the name Diablo alone will push it to 1 million without a doubt. That's my opinion on it anyway dag nabbit.
Do all of you even know that Diablo 2 had held the fastest selling game in history 3 million coppies in 2 weeks? or was it a million. Btw The burning crusade beat it.
"It was awarded a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records 2000 edition for being the fastest selling computer game ever sold, with more than 1 million units sold in the first two weeks of availability;[9] according to the 2008 Guinness Gamer's Edition, the title still holds the record."
Anyway, think about the amount of people who have played diablo, at least 25% will be back, and thats probably well over a million if you think 25%. 8 years later look at the amount of people playing...

You guys do realize that WoW expansion The Burning Crusade sold 2.4 million copies in 24 hours, right? I believe that was in North America alone, too. Now, I'm not saying that Diablo has a fan base as large as WoW, but if an expansion can sell that many, I'm sure a game that has been anticipated forever can sell a million copies in a few days, if not overnight.
Not as large right now yes, but considering the size of the remaining fanbase after what 8 years now? We can be damn sure they'll be back once the game comes out or at least will garner supreme interest as more info and more so when a realease date is pitched at us.
I personally think D3 will sell 1m overnight. It might not sell 1m copies in NA but world wide I really think it will. All I can say to this is D3 selling 1m copies= a no brainer
More than 1M overnight. Imagine all those OGs (original gamers) who first got their hands on the game and quit after they got dumped to non-ladder. This will be Epic.

I have to consent, even if d3 has tibia quality they will sell 1M easy in a 1day or less, i bet on it

Just imagine this could be the first Blizzard game not to sell over 1,000,000 copies. What a day in history!
Uhmm Diablo is one of the their first games. There are ALOT of fans out there that were waiting SO LONG for Diablo III. That is not going to happen. It will probably win many many awards and most likely get Game of the Year. It may even pass WOW.

that many people would buy it just to try it
Would you not buy diablo 3 if someone told you too?
i cant imagine that at all... D3 is already game of the year:thumbsup:
It's a Blizzard game that didn't sell over a million copies.
Wow, fanboys?
You wish.
