Yeah i think they are trying to make Uncharted one of their main franchises like GT and GOW |
It remains to be seen yet if GOW can be a blockbuster or not. Surely there is a lot of anticipation for the game, but niether of the previous two GOW games cracked the 4 million mark. They have good numbers(especially for late generation entries) but I'm talking about creating a monster like Halo, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy(in japan), Mario Kart, Super Smach Brothers, Monster Hunter(in japan), Fifa(in others), Madden(in america). Games that are must own for the video game subcultures. I think God Of War has a chance, but if there was multiplayer it would have a better chance because friends have a big influence on each other in the video game market.

I'm not sure if this is a valid argument and please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the first two GOW's release when the PS2 was at its peak for piracy? I'm sure that took away atleast a million units from the sales.

I don't think piracy had much effect on it. I don't think piracy has much effect on any console game really. Especially not more than 25% of the sales, that is ridiculous. Especially when the games could have been had for $20 for a long period of time.
I do think it has potential though and can be a big hit. But I don't know if it will be a game that can command 4 or 5 mill in sales. And as of right now the most it sold was 3.21 million and the last installment sold much less at 2.52 million.
