Forums - Sales Discussion - GoW III has outsold DMC4 ! Best selling & reviewed slasher of this gen !

Destructoid -

Without question, God of War III sets the new gold standard for action games, clearing and then raising the near-impossible bar that was set by its previous installments.

Game Informer -

In the years since God of War II, while others were chasing the shadow of Kratos’ fighting style, the team at Sony Santa Monica was elevating the scale and intensity to a level that once again proves Kratos is the undisputed king of the genre.

PlayStation Official Magazine Australia -

Top that off with masterful camera work – that makes us totally rethink our hatred of fixed-camera action games – and you have a sequel that easily eclipses anything out there and reclaims it's rightful place at the pinnacle of its genre.

MeriStation -

Refining its mechanics the finest, with a vibrant pace, impressive and colossal bosses, visually outstanding graphics and blood and gore, Sony Santa Monica achieved the excellence inside the hack'n slash genre.

IGN AU - 

Kratos has earned an enviable position at the head of his genre's ladder - and we don't think there's going to be another hero quite like him, in a series as consistently outstanding as this, for a very long time.

GOW has never been or ever will be the king of action games.

GOW is alot more mainstream then DMC so it was expected that i would sell more...

Who claimed it was that? I see more just mentioning it as the pinnacle of it's genre (hack & slash). While that is of course an opinion, don't make things into what they aren't.

well if im not mistake gustave154 said so on page 1...

He said something along the lines of "the king returns to the throne"

i'm not making "things" (what ever that may be) into something else, i'm just stating my opinion that GOW 1, 2 or3  has never been the king/ pinnacle of the hack and slash genre.

And that is your opinion. DMC 3 was an amazing game, my favourite slasher before I played GoW.

For many, like me, simple to execute combos is a plus.in DMC it usually requires you to push the analog stick to a certain direction most of the time and that is a bit tedious when doing combos.

Nevertherless, DMC 3 did have superior combat system until GoW III closed that gap down a bit. But lets be honest, other than the amazing gameplay, DMC lacks a good story (some parts make you laugh at its stupidity).

GoW is more cinematic, has a good story and incorporates the awesomeness of Greek Mythology. Therefore its a better complete package imo. 

Don't say your opinions as its fact. You may like DMC more, but GoW is more popular among most people.

lol i guess my opinion made some people unhappy =(

MGS4 will still be on top of PS3 exclusives, where it deserves to be

ROFLROFLROFL @ Uncharted 2!!!

Man Furismo Jive.

That would be all.

IT will outsell all other PS3 exclusives in mere months.

GT 4 took 8 weeks to get to 8m, so it should be 2 months for it to be top

i dont thinkg GT5 will sell as fast as GT4, mostly because of userbase

I think it will. Have you not seen MGS4's sales ? which are better than MGS3 and GoW III looks like it could be the best selling GoW ever...

RE5 is the best selling RE in a long time. FFXIII is selling much faster than FF12.

The userbase argument isn't that good at all...I hoped people would have realized that by now.
