Sales don't really mean much though. It is a overwhelming general consensus that D3 is a very serious disappointment among gamers. And besides, D3's sales were sold by the success of D1 and D2, and the fact there was a decade between releases. Its the same thing with the boy bands of the late 90's - they sold a ton of records, but anyone with even halfway decent musical tastes knows their music is shit.
When you are a well established and iconic company as Blizzard is, you cannot let the success and money get to your head, and thats exactly what they have done. Instead of progressing and making newer and better games as they should, they are doing the opposite - REGRESSING and making lackluster games, to try and reap greater profits. I don't think D3 will break them just yet, but its safe to say they have been heading in the wrong direction since right around the second WoW expansion. They got greedy, and thus they have fallen off. And unless they turn things around, and soon, I predict their days as the marquis PC gaming company will be numbered.
