#1 Reason easily explained: Blizzard Their attention to creating what they consider the 'perfect' game on a platform they create is mind blowing. They have had Starcraft 2 what any other company would consider 'finished' for probably 2 years. But they run massive beta tests, continually tweak and perfect the game. It shows in every one of their products - look at the Starcraft/Warcraft/Diablo series - not a single flop or poor game. I bet you right now that Starcraft 2 becomes even more popular than the original - and the original is still played in large numbers ten years later!
