Around 3.5m copies sold on day one; First week sales projected at 6.3 million units

Long-awaited RPG Diablo 3 is the fastest selling PC game of all time, according to developer Blizzard Entertainment.
The game, which was plagued by launch hiccups and online hacks, sold more than 3.5 million copies in a single day, Blizzard claimed.

The California developer claims that such a sales feat makes it the fastest selling game ever on PC.
An additional 1.2 million customers received Diablo III from signing up to the World of Warcraft Annual Pass promotion, taking the launch total to 4.7 million.
By the end of the first week, sales had passed 6.3 million copies, the company added.
The sales have also demonstrated the increasingly diminishing relevance of the retail PC charts. Diablo 3, as a packaged product, entered the UK charts at number two behind Max Payne 3.
