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.
Game of the Year is a bit of a hack award to me since 18 different establishments give it out. After IGN's antics this year with firing certain reviewers and giving GTA IV a "10/10" in exchange for first privileges to try the game out, I don't really take them seriously anymore.
As for not selling a million copies, Diablo III will do it, easily, and in a pretty short period of time too. I didn't buy the original Diablo or Diablo II, my friend lent me his copies and here I am, a new fan who discovered the games after their initial release. I can imagine there are tons of people out there like me, so I imagine tons of new fans as well as old ones coming to purchase D3.
I more imagine it to outsell everything, sadly at the cost of quality.
QFT
Blizzard games will sell 1million no matter what. The question is who will buy?
What kind of gamers/ people will buy D3?

I wouldn't.
But there are millions of people just like you...

I think you could sell Diablo 3 as it has been displayed now and it would fork a million copies easily.

You do know that diablo 3 has been one of the most anticipated games since the release of d2 lod... thats hmm how long ago? oh wait wayyyy b4 WoW itself! even b4 wc3 tft!
im pretty sure it will sell over 1million coppies w/o a problem, and it will be free to play... thats another +. And yes it probably will get game of the year.
Cause I wan't blizzard to change back to the original style of art and I'll bitch and scream as much as i can in order to try and make that happen even though it probably won't.
All I know is what the Terminator taught me:
Never stop fighting.
And I never will.
The battle has just begun.
Yes, it's a fan site. Be a fan or get the fuck out.
If a change in art style would prevent you from buying a game, then fuck off. Blizzard is trying to improve its graphic, not downgrade it back to 2D whatnot. People whine and bitch, but they don't seem to understand that you cannot have 3D graphic without trade-offs. Those screenshots people made comparing how it should be and how it is now? That's one picture. Show me someone that can make that a realization without downgrading the graphic.

I couldn't imagine this not selling 1M copies.
Sorry to burst your bubble... but it's not going to happen.
I can say that Diablo 3 will probably get Game of the Year.
It'll probably make GTA4 fanboys (not that it isn't a great game) tremble because it might actually beat it's sales record.
Not to surpass 1 million copies sold? I highly doubt that, given the hype and excitement it caused.

I wouldn't be surprised if Diablo 3 had record breaking sales.
This game will be a world wide success, I guarantee it.

I think DIII will sell at least a million.

If you didn't even REMOTELY like how Diablo 3 looked in the trailers, and don't plan to purchase it, WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?!
