I think a Starcraft MMO would only cannibalize WoW at this point. People only have one life to give and I doubt there's a big untapped market of potential MMO players who are just waiting for one based on Starcraft. Then again, the profit margins of popular MMOs may be large enough to justify running two even if there's some overlap of playerbase. We have a good idea of the income from MMOs, but I'm very curious how much it actually costs to develop and operate one.
Also I don't think we'll see a Diablo 3 for a while because of the demise of Blizzard North. With Starcraft just sitting there begging for a sequel and the Ghost project failing it seems like the obvious move.
