The value of hype seems to be more objective than subjective though. For example, Super Mario Bros. 3 had an entire movie and most likely hundreds if thousands of commercials. God of War III will not have that much hype because Sony probably doesn't see it as a large seller.

Well this remains to be seen.

Well, yes it does, but I think we can safely predict Sony wouldn't advertise it as much as say Gran Turismo due to its poorer track record.

GOW doesn't necessarily have a poorer track record. Gran Turismo is just their biggest franchise, and therefore, would receive higher amounts of marketing. Think Gears of War and Halo, Gear sells great, Halo sells MUCH greater. See what I'm sayin'...

Well, let's think of it like this. Kingdom Hearts is a large series than God of War. The second sold 3.7M. But there wasn't extreme hype for the game. Nor will there be for 358/2 Days or Birth By Sleep. I'm saying that it is logical to assume it won't have heavy marketing.
