More likely, it's simply that most GoW fans got a PS3 long ago, much closer to launch. This also happened with GTA4, FFXIII, Halo 3, and all the other HD exclusives (and, to be fair, most Wii exclusives too).
There are no system-sellers anymore; people have stopped buying consoles that way. Now they buy the consoles early on -almost like investments- and wait for their favorite games to come out. This is great for initial hardware sales, and it also gives early games a unique advantage in that gamers need something to tide them over: witness the sales of Disgaea 3, for example, as compared to its predecessors. But it also means that tracing system sales to individual games is almost impossible nowadays. |
you mean how all of those saw spiked sales in excess of 150k units over a couple of weeks?

If by "in excess of 150k units over a couple of weeks" you mean "in excess of 150k units for one week," then yes. Even the mighty Halo 3 only bumped 360 hardware sales by about 250k units over three weeks before it faded right back into the normal sales curve. 250k units sold is not a "system-seller".

Obviously it depends of your definition of what is a "system-seller".
