starcraft is a great game, there's no denying that. On a multiplayer level it is especially more involving that WC3. But this discussion is moot, since the two games effectively require different sets of skills.
Starcraft is still a game primarily of attrition and speed. While being the more fun of the two, SC is also a more mindless MP game than WC3, but strangely enough it has more replayability than any game in its genre. This is why it is so successful.
In single player mode, SC also has a far tighter and more involving storyline than most games ever developed. Better than a lot of books and movies in fact, which is a rarerity in gaming terms.
SC2's pre-release success will to a large extent depend on what blizzard achieves with SC: Ghost, even though it is FP based.
Anyway, while I love both SC & WC, I think Diablo belongs in the gutter. mindnumbingly bad series.
