Isn't it also the most expensive Blizzard game of all-time? Easier to get bigger numbers with lower folks buying even with fewer folks playing. Not saying this is the case. I know I've seen a MASSIVE amount of Twitch streamers playing it.

Looking at the buisnesswire article linked in the twitter:

Fastest selling based on more units sold on all platforms before launch (through June 5, 2023). Sell-through figures based on reporting received from digital partners and Blizzard internal reports.

That seems like an odd way to say this. They had more Presales, ergo it's fastest selling? Ok.
