I created many threads about this years ago then I gave up, it's ridiculous.

I wonder where God of War III ended up, must be around 6.5m+ with all SKUs (Saga, Omega and Trilogy Edition) combined. Insane how much bigger this series is than all the competition in the genre.

Yes indeed it is amazing, and I love it :D

Btw the Remaster on PS4 would surely add another few 100k sales by the end of the year. I just hope Sony gives us figures again soon, I wanna know how well Ascension sold.

I know that a long time ago The last of us is probably off by a lot too it's bundled with every 500gb ps4 yet vgchartz weekly chart don't show that

Yes probably.

So everything excluding the collection, which is overtracked, has been undertracked.

Not the least bit surprised. Hopefully the numbers get updated, but I doubt it will happen.

Why was 3 such an outlier in Japan numbers?

Well my first assumption would be bundles. VGChartz only has it tracked at 120K in Japan.

Considering how old these figures are, the Collection is likely undertracked as well, and everything else even more horribly undertracked.

What's worse is the numbers haven't been updated to reflect these sales till date.

GoW should be really well over that.
I wonder if Ascencion has such an off tracking as well.

Well Ascension is likely undertracked as well, since every other game in the series is undertracked.

I can't stress how much I love the God of War series! :) Although I must admit that Ascension's lackluster single-player broke my heart but it was still decently enjoyable and multiplayer was surprisingly great! 

If I remember correctly, by the end of 2013 GoW: Ascension was already undertracked at retail by at least 200k+ according to NPD & GFK figures, I had all the info saved with the intention of making a thread but then thought 'fuck it' since all my other threads made no difference anyway lol.

I'd bet Ascension has sold around 3m at retail and I'd guess the digital sales are between 250k to 500k. Even if it only sold about half what GoW3 did it's still a titan of the genre.

If GoW3:R has legs half as good as the GoW: Saga then it will easily cross 1m lifetime, seriously go look at that collections 1st week and it's lfetime sales! Insane.

Woah you took a while to reply xD

I thought Ascension though overall a weak entry in the series had better combat than the others and a good multiplayer mode. I guess there wasn't much Santa Monica could do after how incredible and satisfying ending GOW III had.

I think you could be right about its sales, I mean since every GOW game is undertracked here GOW: Ascension, Collection (Vita), Sagas and III Remastered are probably undertracked as well. We just don't know by how much, these figures are quite old and I know that GOW III on PS3 still sells well in many places and GOW: GOS continued to be one of the top selling PSP games both at retail in many places and on PSN.

It obviously did as these are official figures and pretty old too, but idk how it sold that much there. Still that's a good thing though.
