Since when was GOW 3 considered a system seller?

how can GOW3 sell any system when this game was announced so long ago that probably every person that wanted to play god of war already have ps3.

 

Because all of the 3 million people who played GoW read about games on the internet.

 

No but most of them do.

 

To answer the OP, GOW became a system seller when PS3 started to need system sellers, it is as simple as that. At the beginning of the Gen Sony didn't look to FF13, GOW3, Resistance 2, GT5, and Killzone 2 to sell system, they expected to already have a huge install base and for these games to be sold because of systems not to sell system. Now they are looked to as "system sellers" because sony fans (and I am sure sony themselves) wants more of their systems sold and they know something has to do it.
