I don't really think GoW 3 deserves twice the sales it has right now, because even though it's an awesome game with some of the best graphics and scales, it doesn't have any form of multiplayer or co-op. Now I'm not saying it needs these features because the developers might have decided these features don't suit it well. After the amazing experience is over, there isn't much else to do for the game. I mean you could play the story a couple more times and do the challenges, but you're not gonna get any kind of prolonged use).

Now a game that DOES deserve twice its sales imo is Uncharted 2. It has an amazingly colorful campaign full of lifelike characters and a very nice plot based story. It has a really good multiplayer component with a lot of interesting game modes and it also has co-op. I'm pretty sure Uncharted 3 will build on all of these factors whenever it comes out.

My troll senses are tingling.......

Why do Sony pat themselves on the back with these lack luster sales?  Nintendo and Microsoft's Main franchises do double/triple that.  Hell!!  Wii music did 3.7 million (world wide) and that was an experament...  Guess you settle for what you can get.  Great game though.

Hell yeah!

Well Deserved! One of the Best Games I've played and Still my GOTY 2010 so far.

4 Million here we come!

Just plain good ole fun beating the **** out of people errr I mean greek gods

should've had more advertising in Europe

God of War and multiplayer.....does every game really need multiplayer ? How many players do you see playing BioShock 2 online, huh ?

Co-op and MP on God of War simply won't work all that well.

 Ouch.... 

And God of War III isn't by any means done selling. Its yet to hit its first holiday season.

And since when was 3 million in 6 months lackluster ?

"Many people doubted it would get to 2 million ! "

Sorry, but I'm gonna have to put a big 'citation needed' sign right there. I can't remember seeing a single person saying that.

To be honest, 3 million is a very nice milestone, and I suspect it will continue to sell well for quite a while, but the previous games in the franchise sold 3.74 and 3.13 (Infact, God of War 1 is actually over 5 million and GoW 2 is on about 4.5 mill if you include GoW collection). To say that God of War 3 was hyped and advertised a bjillion times more, and no doubt cost a lot more to create, I'm going to hold back with the balloons and streamers for the time being.

many people have said 2 million or thereabouts life time....God of War III achieved 2 million in 5 weeks. So yeah...

And adding the Collection's sales to 1 & 2 is unfair cause they include people who didn't pick up GoW 2 cause it was released in 2007 when both PS3 and 360 were out and people re-visiting the classics in preparation to 3, like myself.

People who thought LTD would be 2 million and thereabouts.., just for you scottie...
