God of War III's Week 1 was 1.3m and went on to sell 4m more in two years. I'd say yes.

I guess that's a nice possibility for a 10 million seller by the time PS4 launches in 2020 or so.

Nobody will buy a PS4 in 2020



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Very strong numbers for a well received title... so how is that thread of SoT vs GoW going?

Nah, Phil Spenser keeps using hospitality as a shield everytime Sony have a success, they'd look like dicks if they jabbed back or boasted. Phil can see the future, you see, because he knows what he himself would do.

Fair point.

Using some vgc people logic if it done 3.1M in 3 days it may cross 30M in one month.

Making my 15 million lifetime prediction plausible. Man am I going to necrobump my prediction-thread if/when that happens!!

You and me both (okay, so I said 13-15 mill ha). I just heard Pachter, too, was enlightened. Can’t believe I’ve heard no one here talk about it, but he said that the floor for GoW was 10 mill and the ceiling was 20. Idt 20 is possible, but who knows. Legs so far are amazing. 

If we compare GoW info thus far to that of U4 and HZD...

U4:  2.7 mil in 1 wk, 8.7 in 8mo (Jan 2017), likely around 11 mil now. I think 13-14 mil lifetime would be plausible?

HZD:  2.6 mil in 2 wk, 7.6 mil in 1 year. 11 mil lifetime I’d say is plausible.

GoW:  3.1 mil in 3 days. Additionally, the legs are looking amazing so far in UK and Japan:  35% second week drop in each country. For UK, 35% drop compares to 78% for U4 and 60% for HZD. 

So yeah, with all this info, I’d say it’s looking very likely that our predictions come true, and it’s not impossible that the sales actually exceed them.

Yup, sony is killing it. I wonder if sony will "jab" xbox whit the sales of their exclusives, like xbox used to do...    https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/ms-halo-3-outsold-six-ps3-titles-combined

GoW outselling Halo 5 + Gear 4? I can see that.

If we select games we could make GoW sells more than 10 exclusives or something like that.

Because Halo3 wouldn't even outsell GT5P+GT5.

a game that deserves such great numbers



does anybody have the sales numbers for the rest of the series? I feel like i remember they used to publish (or had just after GOW Ascension was released) all the sales numbers
