The previous two God of War games sold 8 million copies combined for PlayStation 2, and Sony executives are confident that the follow-up, the first in the series available for PlayStation 3, will be a multimillion seller as well.

Are these numbers from Sony?

this site has about the same number for GoW 1&2 combined 

We have combined sales between the two at 5.81 million.  Far cry from 8 million.

It would explain the unusually low sales in Europe.  According to us, both games sold 2+ million in NA and well under a million in Others.
