This thread is specifically about God of War 3's sales in July though, not its lifetime sales.

and what H&S did numbers like this after 1 year plus in summer? I'm sure this is not the only game which had promotions..remember Rol..perspective? :P

and I mean really...a thread about a game doing xx sales which are great sales considering many factors even with sales at one retailer...but to come into the thread and not talk about that and say bu bu bu I should have made a thread about xxx game too...that's just sad. at least compare it a game that is similar..the approach taken is so transparent with such comments, no attempt to hide it is gonan work

Now you are applying a double standard.

You complain that God of War 3 doesn't get the deserved recognition for being the bestselling H&S regardless of a discount or not, but at the same time downplay a game that re-entered the top 10 without a discount after being on the market for more than five years which is something no other game has ever done before. The reason why NSMB was brought up is because if God of War 3 can get a news story for its achievement, then where are the news stories for what is an even bigger achievement. That's a fair question/observation.

how is what I said was a double standard? Never said nsmb sales are bad, or non praise worthy or any such nonsense. stop being so paranoid. if you think it's impressive, which it is, please go ahead and make a thread on it. it has NOTHING to do with GOW..not comparable in the least...diff genre, diff target audience, diff type of platform etc etc. this thread has nothing to do with it. if you are gonna compare sales of GOW..at least make sure the game you are comparing is similar at least. if not you are just reaching. that's not 'fair'..that's just ignorant and unneeded to this thread. simple attempt of downplaying really. why enter a thread about a specific game and spout unrelated nonsense about something that adds nothing to the discussion? the double standard here is dsiplayed by you here to be frank..you speak of perspective..but doesn't use it properly. it's like me entering xx game/console of ninty sold xx amount thread and say meh might as well make threads about xx game/platform seeling this much. utter derailment and downplaying.
