At sales 2099: If a game like God of War Ascension has an opening of about 700k units ( i expected it by seeing those numbers) compared to an openinmg of about 1.3 M from God of War 3than i surely search for reasons why this happened. Or is there anything wrong with what i am doing?
Than we have a history of gaming and its a szenario likely to compare with God of War 2. God of War 2 also released at the end of the PS2 gen and yet it also sold less than God of War 1. So many games sell less at the end of a current gen which is normal and one of the reasons for such an opening. Many people arent willing to spend a lot of money in current gen games as they likely will wait for next gen and safe money for that.
Than we have reason 4 which is surly a reason. One of the critism and wishes from the fans are a new mythology and a new setting. Some God of War Fans getting tired of that greece setting because its done. What more monsters will you kill.All the gods are killed. Its simply done. And than we have all the TV Series like Sparta and so on plus all the filma sbout greece mythology (Clash of the Titans ,300). So its only natural that some people have enough from greece movies and games. Do you understand.
And now i give you another reasons. VG charts has an history of undertracking God of War games. This will probably also the case for God of War Ascension. So the real opening and lifetime sales will probably a lot higher if we take God of War 3 for an example.
