Well, surely many a Blizzard fan was sorely disappointed when we heard that Starcraft II was going to be delayed until 2010, but you know what? Blizzard is still going to be filthy stinking rich when they do get around to putting it out anyway. At least that's what Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter predicts, and in case you haven't noticed, that gentleman seems to be right rather often.
Pachter predicts that Blizzard will sell at least 12 million units of PC product in 2010, with the possibility to amp it up to 16 million units. He also mentions that World of Warcraft will grow in the Chinese market in terms of profitability. Those folks at Blizzard just can't go wrong when it comes to making a game, can they?

Wonder how many Erotic games Blizzard could ship. With a Warcraft theme perhaps?
since this is not only about sc2.. i don't really get your point
Do you mean to reference Warcraft II? That was the first game of Blizzard's I remember being ridiculously popular. Then there was Diablo and Starcraft... long before World of Warcraft Blizzard was already known as a premier developer in the industry. I don't recall anyone ever referring to their 90s games as 'okayish'?
Yea, I was referring to Warcraft the rts game, not WoW. Mostly people know Blizzard for Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo. During the early and mid 1990's they made some okayish game that I'd give a 7ish, Blackthorne comes to mind.
