Why Sony can't just let God Of War die and move on?

Because they're making money off of it.

I'm also sure an 8th Harry Potter book would make tons of money from the book itself and the upcoming movie. But they just don't do that, because Harry Potter had a closing, just like God of War 3 closed the story.

Not every person or company in the world is dead set on making money as the be all end all.  The Harry Potter situation is a bit different, because it's very dependent on one person.  If JK Rowling wasn't necessary, you can bet they'd make another one in a second.  Rowling has all the money she'll ever need, but even she's said that she'd possibly write another one for charity.  Plus, there are already spin off books, and 2 spin off movies on the way.

But the topic was asking specifically about the Sony situation.  And the reasoning is simple.  They make money.  When they stop making money, the series will end.  Until nostalgia sets in and they could make more money.
