God of War 3 releases 3/16/10 in NA and 3/19/10 in EU and 3/25/10 in JP

There's also a bundle in Europe (thanks to no one for taking over the pricing history thread i made) and will cost €350

This is the part where i ramble on about what i think, give some of my opinions how things will play out, and explain why i think this will happen but do to the lack of respect of my believes on this site i will not be giving any explanations.

Oh yeah i will say one thing i think God of War 3 will sell 3 million before the years up i mean 2.5m is like pretty much guaranteed

Post what you think GOd of War 3 will sell WorldWide before this year ends

Do you think it will do 3m?

What do you it will sell World Wide before this year ends?

Post why you dont think it will reach 3 million or why you do think it will

thank you

If you think so, then sure.

IF Sony doesnt fuck up the demo (release one with the final build!) and markets it decently, then 3 million isnt unlikely and 2,5 million is pretty much a given.
so yes, its possible!

EDIT:

But they did 3 mistakes already:

- didnt release GoW Collection before GoW3 pal regions

- first boxart was MUCH better

- dont ship enough ps3s to meet demand and build hype

So i wouldnt count on them, its like they dont want theire games to sell well... -_-

i ve seen alot of posters say it will have trouble doing 3m lifetime let alone end of 2010 since the ps2 ones are at 3.2m and 2.6m thats why i created the thread seems like a bold prediction

Hmm... I don't know.

But seeing that it's you... I will agree.

lets see....

1st Week - 1.2-1.5 WW...
2nd Week should do 50% 1st week (600k-750k)
and i don't think it'll have much legs.....2M is pretty much assured after its 5th week...and with an average of 15-20k per week it should do 3M in a year easily.

So, yeah i think you're right.

Of course !!

Uncharted 2 sells 3.5M in 4 months

God of War is well-known so 3M is possible in 4 months ( 4 months because there isn't the christmas holidays )

First week : 1M-1.2M WW
US : 600k
Europe : 400-500k

or

700k ( US )
300k ( EU )

It should probably sell more than that way before 2011. A game with content on disc whose size is 40GB will definitely interest the console's userbase(especially American userbase) and word of mouth along with hype will add to the momentum. And  according to the studio rep, the 40 GB so far never includes a single CGI cutscene. That is something very interesting to hear. So this packs in atleast 15-20 hours of hack n' slash.

I also think it will.

It has a good shot at it IMO GoW is about legs, and this will hold for the PS3 version to
