These numbers seem pretty plausible to me, taken with a grain of salt though.

I wonder if the digital sales include PS+ deals.

I don't think another hack 'n slash game will ever sell as well as God of War III again, holy shit.

How did it do it? A March release, near enough NO bundling, weak advertisement campaign, no multiplayer and it still sold well over 6 million?! Definitely the most impressive sales of the list, imagine it had the bundling + advertisement + holiday release Uncharted 3/GT5 received? Would've sold 8/9 million.

I bet that's not even including the God of War Saga Collection which has sold like 600k and has great legs. If it doesn't then it's sold like ~6.75m and will probably pass 7 million by the end of the year.

Also it hasn't even been out for a year and God of War: Ascension has sold almost 3 million? Flop? Nah. We knew it was undertracked by a couple hundred thousand at retial by NPD/GFK and it must've done really well digitally, it went on sale for just $10 for a few weeks during the holidays (if I remember correctly) so it probably sold insanely well then.

Look at the drop off in the Resistance & Motorstorm franchises after the heavily bundled first games, I bet it'd be a similar case for Uncharted & Gran Turismo if they stopped bundling the games so much, definitely would lose a few million sales.
