Good GOD!! Diablo 2 is such a horrid game!!! F*** it to hell!!!!

Of course, these numbers have nothing whatsoever to do with which game is "better". It's more a matter of market penetration (i just wanted to say penetration). How many PC's are out there vs. DC's? And how long has PSO been out? What were Half-Life's figures one month after release?
Amyways, just because more people watch "Friends" than "Good Times" doesn't mean "Friends" is a better show. =)

PSO = Everything Diablo 2 SHOULD have been after 4 years in development and then some.

well, lets face it, most of those pc games can be played online for free with BT's everyday online deal of £14 a month, yet PSO is only available at local call charges, if it was cheaper, we'd all be online.
