I agree with the ballpark of your estimations.

I was just answering to the 5M WW on April, since GoW launched end of month I think it didn't do much over 3M on April. But I could be wrong and won't check how many weekend it had on April (if it had 2, then 5M is possible).

San Andreas released on October 26th 2004, so it had five or six days of tracking. Also, since some time NPD emphasizes revenue over unit sales, so if the same metric is used in this comparison, God of War holds an obvious advantage due to the higher game price today than back then, plus the existence of various special editions which wasn't a common practice over a decade ago.

San Andreas sold 5.1m copies in the USA in 2004, but I couldn't find sales for the individual months of October, November and December. That's why it's unclear if the metric is revenue or unit sales in this comparison.

It sold 3.1 million in by 22nd of April (launched 20th). It then had another 8 days of high momentum sales for the month. It likely got well over 4 million at least.

I'd rather have WW numbers from Sony.

Why not both?

Yeah just some sort of numbers would be great, we know it sold 3m in its first week, but would be great to get another update... although if it's still selling so well, maybe Sony will say something about it at E3, which, if it does happen, will be the next time we hear anything about sales, lol :P One thing is for sure though, lifetime sales will be higher than the majority of people predicted... those 10m+ predictions don't seem too high now, do they :p
