Good numbers for the Pokémon games, but they still don't quite match Halo's. So I think that HG/SS won't top March NPD charts this year.
No pokemon is definitely not a halo/MW/GTA launch where its how many million is it going to sell in the month

Yes based on those numbers the fact that the most recent GOW sold more than the most recent pokemon game.
Also
GOW1 to GOW2 300% increase, series is increasing with popularity
diamond to platinum 20% decrease, series is decreasing with popularity

I'ld say GOW3 will outsell gold or silver [whatever sells the best] by about 250k

God of War II has lower LTD sales than God of War.

God of War - 3.21m

God of War II - 2.60m

The most recent GoW game, God of War Collection has sold 0.59m, in America, the most recent Pokémon main entry, Pokémon Platinum, has sold 2.48m, in America.

I have a bet for you if you're interested, I say both Heart Gold and Soul Silver, separately, will outsell God of War III in March when the NPD numbers are revealed. The stake is avatar control for a month. What do you say?

The only difference beeing that neither GoW1 or 2 are tracked weekly in Others. Seeing as to how many bundles it was attached even in our own country my dear friend, I wouldent be surprised if both games would be well above 3 million, especially seeing that even CoO already broked 600k, without counting DLC...

 

Still, IMO its foolish to expect GoW3 to outsell Pokemon S&G Remake, but it has a chance IMO at fairing better then the least perforimng version
