Give me at least 2008 graphics and I'd trade D3 for D2 anytime. I'd even pay 60$ for it, nothing changed to gameplay (except maybe potions spamming removed) just updated graphics (and not even today's graphics).
Personally, I am suprised no one came up with some kind of patch that would basicly just upscale the whole game via a post processing shader. Just enough so it can smooth pixels out to be a bit easier on the eyes. À-la- SNES emulators upscale filters.
I doubt it would do the trick to make it acceptable to play again. But on a side note there are already custom patches that enables higher resolution, but it doesnt scale with the action bar so it looks weird.
Anyways, beside some limited gameplay features, D2 was so amazing in terms of art style (for its time indeed) and the environments were always fun to play over and over (and more randomized than D3 linear acts/lacks of dungeons). I'm so underwhelmed by D3 in those aspects... too bad Blizz North didn't live to make D3.

Interesting, I would've tought D2 did better. I admit I'm surprised, but I'm confident with 5 millions for the first week since no games have reached such a huge hype in years.
EDIT: At least, I play and played thousands (edit: okok.. hundreds) of games and had the opportunity to made a carreer in gaming (didn't because I realized I hate living in metropolitan areas.. well mostly) and seriously in my whole life (now 23) I've never ever been so impatient for a game.

If you're right the game won't last long (at least not as long as what I expect).
SC2 sold more than 1.5 million in 48hours. And in my opinion D3 has a bigger potential players pool.

I'd say about 8-10 millions after a year since it'll get flawless critics (user metacritics included)

But why don't you just try it like *now*? Pre-purchase is already available...

This is highly possible, because if they were right (Italian leak) it would've proved that retailers got the date before the gamers, and they always claimed to give the date to us at the same time as them.

Today is the second best day of 2012 (May 15th being no1 indeed).

1- Blizzard game designers had a hard time getting on the same track while making the game. It doesn't mean its a bad thing, but they indeed were unsure about a lot of systems for years. I still trust they've made the good decisions, but we will see by the end of next month (..at least I hope so...).
2- Would you like to play the game later but with PvP included day one or play sooner without PvP? I guess even PvP enthousiats would like to play sooner without it. I mean anyway you won't be able to play PvP before release plus xx months, so why not play PvE during this time?

Makes me wonder if they tested it before releasing the patch..

I'd say its the opposite, you can see your own MF but not the average (group MF).

Thats interesting, though I wasn't planning in rolling an HC character before clearing normal.
