| JustThatGamer said: How can Patcher already claim the multplayer won't increase sales when it's still being figured out a no-one knows how great it'll be by the time the game comes out. If it's brilliant (99% sure it will be) then of course it will help sales because people will recommend the game to their friends to play online together, and those friends will recommend the game to their other friends and so on and so forth. Even without the multiplayer this game will be a 5m+ seller like GOW3 will be, I think MP will be the thing that pushes God of War: Ascension over 6m. If GOW3 can reach 4.5m in 2 years with no MP, no bundling and no advertising, just imagine how much it can sell with a great MP mode, bundling and good advertisement. If Sony made an effort this could be a 7 million + seller, hopefully the PS4 doesn't release too soon as it could damage GOW:A's legs. |
I hate it I hate it I hate it when people claim this with games that had recieved bundling and substantial advertisement

God of War 3 could eventually reach close to 5mil, that in itself is an achievment even with its advertisements and a little holiday bundling. There is no need to try to overexaggerate the "obstacles it had to overcome" to get to its sales. As for the new god of war, its lifelong sales will heavily depend on the quality of the game, and how long the ps3 stays relevent in the United States after next gen, god of wars biggest market.
