Report: StarCraft II pre-orders at 800K, News from GamePro

VGChartz reports this morning that StarCraft II pre-orders have topped 800,000 units in North America. Blizzard declined to confirm or deny this number, but they expect to announce their own numbers in a couple of days once the game actually hits shelves.

There's no way to know where VGChartz is actually getting its numbers -- the site also estimates total worldwide week-one sales to top two million units -- but when we spoke with a lead publicist at Blizzard, that number didn't seem to surprise them in anyway.

The publicist reminded us, however, that Blizzard does not give out pre-order numbers prior to a game's retail release. So sit tight, hit some midnight launches this evening, and wait for official word hopefully later this week.
