It will sell better than uncharted 4. Especially if next year its bundled with teh PS4 the same way uncharted 4 was bundled.

God of War is iconic. In ways that Uncharted never was.

What really has me excited is that the way things are panning out, we could very well see GOW2 and Horizon 2 be launch or at least launch window titles for the PS5. Now that really would be something.

I actually believe both of those will release this gen.

About the GoW x Uncharted, well, GoW has always sold less than Uncharted, quite less actually.

I hope it does beat Uncharted 4, here in Brazil the series is very popular, but massively pirated xP

But I think there are major identifiable reasons for that. When you have games like the first three GoWs, with nudity and such an excessive level of violence and gore, that’s going to alienate a very large group of people. Tbh, I’m surprised GoW sold as much as it did. Ontop of that, in GoW 3, where they had potential for a lot of growth going from ps2 to ps3, the combat at that point, at least to some degree, felt a bit outdated. 

Gow 3 sold close to what Uncharted 3 did (around 6mill), so that’s really not a big difference. But NOW, the new GoW has fixed all the negatives of the other GoW games, so I think it can absolutely outsell Uncharted 4.
