2009 The Year of the PC

Posted by Leord on May 20th, 2012 filed in StarCraft News

SeattlePI's Derrik J. Lang has posted an article about gaming and the lookouts for 2009. He talks with DigitalTrends publisher Scott Steinberg as well as taking quotes from a wide range of industry giants, and they talk about consoles versus PC games, mentioning that, according to Nielsen Media, gamers spent 24h a week less on a PC in 2008 than the year before. However, with games such as StarCraft II and Diablo III expected to arrive in 2009, people might start playing other PC games than WoW for once in a long time.

While the "StarCraft 2 in 2009" is a pretty sure bet, we just have to see about Diablo 3 coming this year. Blizzard did seem a lot more keen on releasing Diablo 2 closer from announcement than StarCraft 2, but could they possibly release the game before 2009 is over?
