You read that right.  StartCraft 2 managed to sell 1 Million copies in its first day.  Sure the second day was only a measly 500,000 copies, but that still makes it the fastest selling strategy game in history.  These numbers include releases across five continents and eleven different languages. 

I think this means that Blizzard is officially trying to steal the souls of the entire world.  Heaven help us when Diablo 3 is released.
