God of War III's current sales are 1.94 million copies worldwide. The game will definitely pass the 2 million mark by next week. I think the weekly sales of the game will be around 45k by next month. The game might see a sales peak with the DLC coming soon. If Sony decides to give the game some TV ads or even bundle the game during holiday season, then maybe the game will have a huge boost in sales.

My prediction is God of War III will just pass the 4 million mark worldwide

Thoughts?

It's possible.

I think we'll see some huge legs in America, something like Halo legs for America. It barely dropped in sales last week.

Could be 2.5 million in America and 1.25 million in Others by the end of the year so 3.75.

I think it's a bit too optimistic, but I hope you're right !

I think it's very possible, if the ps3 keep selling at the rate it's is right now, since new owners=newer games sell more

I don't think it'll happen.

I say 3.2 million.

I think we better wait for next month NPD cause I have a feeling VGChartz is still under-tracking the game

What impressed me the most with GOW 3 was Japan's sales. GOW1 sold 20k in Japan, GOW2 sold 40k, COO sold 40k, GOW3 already sold over 60k. I think it'll reach 100k in Japan with the best re release.

Expect some more upwards adjustments for Americas. We still only have the first 3 weeks at 1.1 million. First shipment to Canada was 250k and I'm assuming they sold through about 150k-200k of that. With with the rest of Americas it's probably closer to 250k.

well considering VGC already undertracked this game, you are probably looking at 2.2 million at this point WW.

1.8 million in this year, especially with likelihood of some sort of bundling near Christmas time. It is very probable

It is quite possible that GOW3 could sell 4-5 million lifetime, but I am not sure it will hit the 4 million mark in 2010-- it all depends on how accurate the vgchartz numbers are.

I personally think the GOW3 sales may drop off a bit after this month once most of the core audience has already purchased a copy. Most of the PS3 ownders I know have opted to rent GOW3 rather than purchasing it. The main reason is that we feel GOW3 is a must play game, but that it is pretty short and has very limited replay value.

I rented it last week and thought the game was superb, but I am glad I only payed $8 for the rental rather than $60 for the full game.

It will be interesting to see what the attach rate of GOW3 is with new PS3 owners. Since Sony are selling over 200,000 PS3 consoles a week, GOW3 maybe able to generate quite a new audience. There aren't nearly as many exclusives on the PS3 as there were on the PS2, so I think GOW definitely stands out more in this generation than the past one. I definitely think that GOW3 is one of the 5 must-play titles for the PS3 along with Little Big Planet, Metal Gear, and Uncharted 1 and 2.
