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. 

Yeah I just saw your post saying that. Crazy!

And Benji just said “the legs have been exceptional”, so sounds like the US shouldn’t be that far behind in terms of the second week drop...that is, if they can resolve the stock issues.
