Diablo III, Pro Evo Soccer 2013 tops Asian sales charts

Hong Kong understand what make a fotball game better than others.

Good to see PES gains the market share and outshines FIFA atleast in some parts of Asia.

stuff all the cry babys... diablo 3 is a fun rpg the end!

South Korea .. why isn't Starcraft 2 on that list?? why???

Diablo 3 undeserving of its sales numbers. How many of those refunded their copies?

The biggest problem with D3, IMO was how... meaningless and empty the level progression felt. I always thought Diablo II took little too long for you to get to max level (I never got there myself). But the problem is Diablo III went on to do the complete opposite, which I think is much worse.

I guess they tried a WoW approach to progression: you level up considerably faster because it's a MMO, and not an "average" RPG, you want to level up faster so you can get with your buddies and experience the end-game content, but when you do that to a game like Diablo III that has no end-game content at all, people are going to blaze through the levels and then ask themselves: "Where do I go from here? What do I do now?" And that's when the game becomes unmemorable.

I don't see an easy way to fix that... Blizzard tried those paragon levels, but that doesn't help. It's still mindless grinding over and over the same levels you've already experienced.

Anyway, just my two cents...

Wait what? I thought Blade and Soul was the most popular game in the East? At least the most popular MMO?

I'm just sad, that Diablo 3, wasn't the game that one would expect. Blizzard will of cause milk WoW 2-3 years more, then make a new MMO where everyone will get dissapointed. And from there - Blizzard will be dead, if they don't change direction, and listen to their community. I for one, will never buy a Blizzard game again, as they are now.

btw Blizzard. why not rename Diablo 3 for something better like:

???, ?????? 3

Sorry to say, but what's up with my asians and "clicking" games?  With the exception of Evo of course.

I just played Diablo 3 Starter addition , than realized it was only 20 hours long and for 60$ and requires pay to pay to play model. Auction house or you cant finish on the real hard difficulties.. PC gaming keeps getting worse and worse..

people in hong kong know PES better than Fifa :)

All those numbers seem low.. but hey.. I guess when it's not global sales they're bound to be a lot less..

they forgot to add that south korea had the highest number of refunds for diablo 3

lol not surprised that the Koreans are the only ones left playing Diablo 3.

I am glad that D3 is doing well actually. I didn´t play it at launch, but a year after, so I didn´t see any flaws Metacritic users were yelling about. The game resulted to be super-adictive and totally platyable without AH, at least, upto Inferno. But I didn´t play Inferno because I am not that big fan of Diablo. But I completed the normal difficulty on one weekend, playing non-stop, and it was a blast.

I tried Torchlight 2, but it looks less polished and the artstyle is not that good as in D3. Too cartoony for my taste. Before you burn me for T2, I did like the game. I think there are enough space for both titles. What I am saying, D3 is not that bad as people depicted it, actually is very good and AAA, at least after patches. Probably my impressions are based on the fact that I didn´t touch it at launch, but played it in more polished form. If you own a D3 copy, undust it, download the recent patches, and try it again. I bet you will apreciate it more.

So many got fooled ( including me)

Won´t happen again blizzard

I am surprised that Sleeping Dogs didn't sell better in Hong Kong.  Isn't the game's setting based in Hong Kong?  I guess Fifa isn't as big in Asia.

Apparently Final Fantasy XIII-2 didn't sell anything. Lol. Sarcasm aside, going by that list, it's not too impressive of a feat. None the less, I'll give credit where credit is due. Congratulations Diablo III.

How about Malaysia?
