While this is all just one giant pissing contest, and I'm sure Microsoft and Sony are more interested in the papery green stuff, did anyone think maybe neither company will win the sales contest this year. We all know that software sales is where it's at, at least it better be or Sony is in big trouble. It occurs to me that while PC's and Mac's while not direct competitors will be the big winners this year.
If were talking Game of the Year and sales I would bet there is at least 10 million Koreans over here in Seoul who beg to differ sing Blizzard singlehandedly wins 2009, and Starcraft 2 is game of the year. Let us not forget we're talking about a game that has one of the largest online communities 10 years strong, and has survived a legion of pretenders to the RTS throne.
I don't think anyone is going to disagree that Starcraft2 is going to boot-stomp GoW3 and any Halo game, short of Halo 4 in sales. Not to mention Diablo II was kinda popular and held the sales record till it was broken by Warcraft III, which was broken by World of Warcraft. They have the trackrecord and Diablo 3 is slated for 09.
