This is one of those games that every gamer needs to experience whether your a wii or 360 owner, you owe it to yourself to play this game when it comes out.

 

I want to ask you why has the God of war franchise sold so modestly, it has sold well but should sell much better. Its a franchise up their with the greatest e.g. Halo, MGS, GTA, etc. Yet these games sell very well but this has not happened to the God of war series which is frustrating as a gamer. I think the problem might have been the fact that both God of war games were released too late in the ps2's lifecycle.

Do you think God of war 3 sales will match it's potential?

Thanks, Michael Moore.

 

 

Several things must be said

 

God of War is not a game for everyone. I certainly have no interest in the franchise. I like my games to provide me with many hours of entertainment, have a well written plot, be good to play with friends and challenge both my brain and my gaming abilities. I am sure it is a good game within its genre, but it is not a universally loved genre. Understanding this will help you understand my later points.

 

To consider Halo, MGS and GTA as the three franchises that exemplify 'great' only heightens the difference between you and I as gamers, and further convinces me that I would not be interested in GoW

 

The sales of the GoW franchise are low not because of when they were released (and infact they were released at a very good time for PS2 software, certainly better than GTA3, GT3 or any of the other best selling PS2 games) but because the series lacks universal appeal.

 

So to answer you question, I believe you will be dissapointed b the sales of GoW3 when it releases, but you will not care too much because you will be enjoying the game

Outstanding peace of analysis, hats off to you my friend
