God of War III = Both the best-selling and the most critically acclaimed game in the hack n' slash genre (A list of every review score and total sales)... Won't be beaten for a long while, the only game that can is the inevitable God of War IV.
| God of War III: Total sales. | Week | Americas | EMEAA | Japan | Total |
| God of War: Trilogy Edition | 67 | - | 91,291 | 26,307 | 117,588 |
| God of War III | 75 | 2,587,230 | 1,277,135 | 117,107 | 3,981,472 |
| Grand Totals | 2,587,230 | 1,368,426 | 143,414 |
4,099,070 |
So that's 4,099,070 sales in 75 weeks with hardly any bundling at all because of the PS3 shortage at the time of release and just one xmas holidays boost. It will be the first hack n' slash to pass 5 million for sure, I think it'll stop at around 5.4m including the trilogy edition or 5.6m if (when) the sequel is announced/released.
