Yes! So well deserved. Just finished it last night, and it’s a masterpiece. Playing the original trilogy, I saw so much freaking potential for these games, but they were bogged down by excessive/tasteless violence, a shallow plot, and shallow and unlikable characters. I always felt like GoW could be massive if they fixed these things, and Cory Barlog did that and more, so it’s so awesome to see the much-deserved success as a result.

I predicted 3-3.5 mill first week with 13-15 mill lifetime, and it’s looking to be on track for that. 3.1 mill sold through in 3 days is insane, and this is in light of shortages.

Also interesting: In the UK, GoW suffered only a 35% drop in its second week, which from all the comments I’ve seen, is darn near unprecedented. Uncharted 4’s drop was 78% and HZD was 60% (tho U4 sold a lot more in its FW). So with this data and the awesome word of mouth, it appears GoW will have good legs as well.

Only a 36% drop in Japan which is even more unusual.
