In the end, Others will sell more GoW3 copies than NA and Japan together.

Others will not outsell America, no way.

That's like saying a Halo game is going to sell better in Others then America, it's just not going to happen. The God of War market is in America.

Well the reason why GoW 1+2 are showing such a low numbers in "others" region is the lack of tracking, not the fact that those series aren't beloved here. Every single game from now on, unless it's another FPS, will sell more in others than in NA.

Ok then what about God of War: Chains of Olympus, it has basically the same sales as GoWI and II has when comparing America with others. Seems like America always sold 2 or 3 times more then Others. I don't see why this would change with GoWIII.

but PS3 is a lot more popular in Otehrs than NA compared to what was PS/PS2

Time to Work !

It doesn't matter, that's like saying America or Others is going to have a bigger first week then Japan for a Final Fantasy game because they have more users, it's not going to happen. The fanbase of GoW is in America, and the new God of War Collections that was released in only America will only increase the sales for it in America.

I think some of u re underestimating eu sales.I cant say about na(obviusly it sell a lot)but since i live in eu i know few facts about gow3 here.

U dont have IDEA how heavily gow and gow2 were pirated here.(including myself lol).Many of us were younger and couldnt pay over 100$ for single game.
EVERY1 who played it enjoyed it.
I know at least 40,50 people(friends,forum guys...)who played pirated version and ey re all getting gow3 and some of them ps3 with it.

Cant say about numbers but i think people here ll be very surprised with sale numbers(positively i hope)
