I am not sure how the Mulitplayer will affect this franchise. When I heard about the Multiplayer I somehow lost my interest in this game... and I have all 5 Gow Platinum Trophies.
Ok, some might say that a Mulitplayer mean "more bang for your buck", but that simply is not true. For me, online Competitive Multiplayer offers absolutely no value, simply because it has no entertaining factor for me. On my road to some Platinum I had to cope with some Multiplayer modes (GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Resistance 2, Assassin's Creed, Street Fighter 4, Uncharted 2+3, etc.) and honestly I did not like them. The only two that were somehow fun were Ghostbusters and the coop-Mode of Resistance 2.
So if the Platinum Trophy is possible without wasting time with the multiplayer mode I will gladly buy this game. But if the main focus is on the mulitplayer and the singleplayer campaign feels tacked on I might even pass this game completely.
So ultimately, I have a feeling that this game will sell less than GoW3, but since I am biased against multiplayer that is not a fair measure. To be honest, a short moment I hoped that this game will bomb soo hard. Why can't they simply make a singleplayer game and an extra online-only game (free-to-play with dlc to expand the lifetime of the game) for the competitive gamer?
