Blizzard Infests 1.5 million Command Centers with StarCraft II in 48 hours

Blizzard has claimed StarCraft II to be the fastest-selling strategy game of all time after it Reaver-dropped the PC world with 1.5 million copies in the first 48 hours of its release.

Apparently, the Koreans were still too busy playing the original StarCraft to leave their computers to go buy SC2, since sales of 1.5 million might seem like a lot, but SC2 doesn’t measure up when looking at the some of Blizzard’s other releaseS. the World of WarCraft expansion packs Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King sold 2.4 million and 2.7 million respectively in a SINGLE DAY.

Analysts expect to see SC2 sales hit 6.5 million in the 2010 sales year.
