Vgchartz has the God of War franchise undertracked by 2.86 million, I know that Vgchartz doesn't track digital downloads but look at how massively undertracked God of War 1, 2 and 3 are! All have actually sold well over 4 million and God of War III has passed 5 million! God of War III is now at 5.20 million which is AMAZING!!! It's especially so for a genre as small as the hack 'n slash. I knew the franchise was bigger than Vgchartz would have me believe! Now that I've seen the real sales numbers I'm 99% sure God of War: Ascension will easily sell 6+ million.
