Diablo III sales rise to 14 million

Diablo III has now sold more than 14 million copies since launch in May 2012, Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Morhaime said today during a post-earnings financial call.

This figure, which encompasses all versions of the game, is up from 12 million announced earlier this year.

The milestone was achieved after Diablo III was released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in September. A sales breakdown between PC/Mac and consoles was not provided.

Diablo III is also in development for PlayStation 4, though no release date has been announced yet. The game's auction house mechanic will be removed in March 2014.

The Diablo III: Reaper of Souls expansion, announced during Gamescom in August, is currently in development for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.
