Essentially, they aren't that insanely popular. There's a big group of people that
really like them, and never shut up about them, and play them forever. It's one of the last pillars of good, high-profile, PC exclusive titles, so PC gamers latch onto them like they're the greatest, most-anticipated releases in history. But sales-wise, they don't hit the numbers of the uber-popular titles. Take Starcraft II... with a decade of hype behind it, has cracked around five million in sales, lifetime. Successful, yes, but not enormous, especially given the hype and marketing behind the title.
Diablo III will be the same.
