It seems your reputation for uncanny predictions precedes you. Hardly anyone willing to contradict your predicition, and I'm not about to start.
There's plenty of pre-order marketing displays in every gaming shop here. Any gamer who has been to a gaming store in the last few weeks knows GoW III is imminent, so I don't think marketing will be a problem. I would like to know how the Ultimate Trilogy edition is going pre-order wise in the PAL regions.
I do think it was a mistake not to release the GoW collection in PAL markets ahead of GoW III. Being able to buy the first 2 games separately and before GoW III might have brought some new gamers who didin't play the games on PS2 to the franchise. I'm hoping they release GoW collection as a separate product after GoW III release because I don't feel like paying $299 for the games and some memorabillia. Otherwise I'll have to pick up the GoW collection used somewhere.
