What about the monthly fee? Many people are discouraged by the fact they have to pay monthly. A new MMO is not necessary to beat out an addiction to a different MMO. All you need is a new, rich, interesting game that doesn't cost monthly, and players will look into it.
I'd pay for WoW over buying Diablo 2 once any day.
Second, There are a good 6 million+ people who'd disagree with the minority of people who say otherwise. Face it folks, this forum has maybe 30-40 people max that say WoW is a bad game.
Technically speaking, no games are time demanding. But, take into account the addiciton level of the games, and there's your casual to hardcore change.
And yes, I've owned a copy of Starcraft and played D2 pretty extensively.
Good point. But even considering that, D2 was never a consumer's game, like that shit EA Games cranks out all the time, so sales wouldn't be super-high to begin with.
WoW is pretty easily accesible, and non-gamers play it all the time.
SSBM and SSB are almost exactly the same. There are next to no differences between them aside from graphics and other extras like that trophy dispenser and things like that. I can compare those easily. Especially since they're a series.
Read my post, I said Super Smash Brothers and Super Mario brothers.
I don't think more true words have ever been spoken on this forum. Every game made by Blizzard has been an outright success.
So, then why did you agree with a guy earlier today in saying Ghost tanked? Hardly sounds like an outright success.
And there -is- no way it can compare to WoW. They're two different games. That's like saying Super Smash Bros sucks compared to Super Mario Bros: Two different games, one publisher.
EDIT: To clarify, unless D3 is an MMO, it won't be nearly as successful, which is generally how one derives a game as being good, though not in every case.
all blizzard does publicly is pay attention to wow... case and point blizzcon... i think they had one diablo exibit somewhere in thier... e3 what did we see thier?? wow... i say publicly because im keeping hope that secretly blizzard hates wow and just uses the sales to fund diablo 3
Are all your hopes based on idiocy? It would seem so.
WoW is the world's biggest moneymaking game, ever. Blizzard loves it more than they could ever love Diablo, and the reasoning is simple: People know the Warcraft name better than Diablo. This means WoW is more accesible, and therefore, Blizzard being a for-profit organization, they would like it much more than any Diablo game.
This isn't saying I wouldn't love a Diablo 3, but there's no way it will even compare to WoW.

OK, first for grammatical fixing:
"WoW totally sucks!"

Third, I like pie.

The RTS games they were known for hardly are for casul gamers.

That's not saying Diablo would be bad. Just saying it wouldn't compare.
