God of War: Ascension - Will be hugely undertracked (even more so than God of War III was/is). It will be the biggest video game release in the US of March.

Vgchartz estimates = 550,000.

My prediction = 700,000 in March. (500,000 Week 1, 120,000 Week 2 and 80,000 week 3.

My prediction is similar.

(600k 1st week, 200k Week 2(God of War bundle must have stopped it from getting less than 150k), 85k Week 3)

Yeah, I think God of War: Ascension is definitely going to be undertracked in the US... and by a lot. GoW3 was undertracked by over 200K during its debut month in the US if I remember correctly (and it still hasn't been corrected). It was actually more than that because Vghartz estimates are for the entire USA and NPD data is for the US alone. I should say, my prediction above is the lowest I expect it to be. I think it sold between 700,000-850,000 in the US alone in March. So not too far behind God of War III which managed 1.1 million (NPD). God of War: Ascension will do: Week 1 ) 500-600k. Week 2 ) 120-150k. Week 3 ) 80-100k. My final prediction: Lowest: 700,000. Highest: 850,000. Mean: 775,000 (my bet). I actually can't wait to see if I'm closer to NPD's data than Vgchartz is.
