Diablo III breaks PC-game launch record

Diablo III, the highly-anticipated PC game, sold more than 3.5 million copies in its first 24 hours of release, Blizzard Entertainment announced Wednesday.
"We're definitely thrilled that so many people around the world were excited to pick up their copy of Diablo III and jump in the moment it went live," Mike Morhaime, chief executive officer of Blizzard, said in a press release.
Blizzard claims Diablo III is the fastest-selling PC-game launch in history. The game was so popular that the servers crashed on launch day. Morhaime reiterated a previous apology the company released.
"We also regret that our preparations were not enough to ensure everyone had a seamless experience when they did so. I want to reaffirm our commitment to make sure the millions of Diablo III players out there have a great experience with the game moving forward, and I also want to thank them for their ongoing support."
