In the two day span of time since StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm was released, nearly 1.1 million copies were sold.

"We want to thank the global StarCraft community for the incredible passion and support they've shown for Heart of the Swarm," Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment, said in a release. "In addition to a brand-new single-player campaign, we added a ton of enhancements with this expansion to make StarCraft II even more fun to play, and more exciting to watch. We're pleased to see gamers and eSports fans around the world enjoying Heart of the Swarm."

This naturally places it in line with almost everything else Blizzard has released in the past year. Diablo 3 sold 3.5 million copies within 24 hours of releasing and the Mists of Pandaria expansion for World of Warcraft sold 2.7 million copies in its first week of sales.

I'm not surprised, the game is wonderful. Too bad can't say the same about Diablo 3.

This would have been a great day for North Korea to invade.
