A racing game in the UK in an established and quality franchise on a console with a 50% greater user base is outselling a H'n'S game in a quality and established franchise. And this is noteworthy how?
PS3 has 2 million higher userbase in Others than Americas yet GoW III in Others is selling at about 2/3 of Americas. Others is over 5 million 360's behind the Americas yet FM3 in Others is 30% ahead of FM3 in Americas. God of War III is going to sell better that FM3 in Americas with 2/3 the userbase. FM3 is going to sell better in Others than GoW III with a roughly equal userbase. Racing games in general and FM3 in particular are very popular in Others (esp Europe), H'n'S games incl. GoW not so much. That's all you need to know to be able to put GoW III vs. FM3 in context, regardless of the fact that GoW III is only in its 4th week of sales.
