I feel like this is a wasted effort and I also hope I am extremely wrong.

To me GoW is a story driven title, without increased sales of GoW Collection and/or the PS2 titles I don't see how people who haven't played both are going to rush out and buy GoW3 without knowing what the hell is going on.

They will see that it is the end of the trilogy and either buy the previous two or possibly skip the game altogether.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this advertising should have gone to a new IP or something that isn't so story heavy. God of War 3 would have sold itself.

GoW collection was a pretty key release. As the hype builds up for GoW 3 more new players will probably pick it up before GoW 3.

Unless GoW Collection sales begin to light up the charts I don't expect too much out ofall of this. Maybe this ad compaign will help, who knows?

I am just saying that I feel Sony should have showcased MAG a bit more or White Knight Chronicles or Heavy Rain. Instead they are giving a game with previous sales of 3M+ and 2.5M+ whos 3rd game's sales most likely depend on the previous game's customers all this ad support.

Unless we see a big shift in GoW Collection sales I can't see this game approaching anything beyond the 3.5-4M mark. I hope I'm wrong though, I really do because GoW is awesome.
