I lol'd.
To those who were around when Super Mario Bros came out, remember how many hop-n-bop platformer clones came out around then? Some were better than others, but at the core they were Mario clones and couldn't differentiate themselves. Sonic the Hedgehog managed to pull out and generate great sales because it was different enough (ie Sonic's speed vs Mario's precise jumps.)
So God of War? It's a really good car, but you already have a car that's decent enough. Why bother?
It's a great refinement of a 3rd-person 3D action button masher, started by Devil May Cry. It isn't treading new gameplay territory. By the time GoW was released there were already a ton of Devil May Cry clones floating about. So GoW is a great game in a crowded genre. Sony should be proud it sold as many as it did.
I hope GoW 3 really manages to do something different, to really separate itself from other 3D action games. With the name brand and marketing efforts it would easily sell the PS3.
There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.
