Maybe its not undertracked? It will sell 5 million by end of the year or by the time GoW:A is released. Its already best selling GoW game, sales being near 5m now mean that LTD will finish around 6m. And GoW3 isnt that big unless we get shipment figures from Sony.

GoW 3 will finish over 5m LTD but thats it.

Why is it that every random idiot thinks THEY know how much a game has sold better than the people who actually have the data and compile the numbers?

"I bet this game game is already 5M" You bet? Well, this is clearly damning evidence. LMAO.

They're not random accusations. Some of those guys are a bit too fanboyish, but I believe it is undertracked somewhat. I've been monitoring weekly sales since VGC took that functionality away and here are some observations.

1. NPD had God of War III sales in the USA at 1.1 million in March. VGC have is at 950k. Thats 150k undertracked there itself

2. God of War III's Platinum release in Europe had zero effect on sales.

3. God of War III's Greatest Hits release had no noticeable boost on American sales

4. God of War III was at $15 last black friday at gamestop, k-mart and amazon.com . There was no boost. The Gamestop deal ran till the 27th of November. A whole month @$15 during the holiday season which had absolutely no effect on sales.

5. At times, God of War III had eerie negative sales of around the 5-9k range in Others and America after the redesign in 2012 in the weeks of 21st and 7th January, there was something clearly broken about the Vgchartz sales algorithm. The game had its "normal" sales back in the weeks between.

On the bright side though, God of War III did make a return in the USA charts at the 50+ postions since Ascension was announced.

We don't have any idea about the shipment numbers either so its tough to know whats really going on, but based on what I've observed I'd say theres a pretty good chance GOW III is somewhat under-tracked.

Can someone with a twitter account ask Sony Santa Monica about shipment numbers ?

Can someone also ask Sony Santa Monica if there'll be a GOW game for the vita :D

seems like PS3 games get under tracked quite a bit but Ninty and MS games get the benefit of the doubt

we need numbers from santa monica to really know whats going on

Ok guys, chill out! The game did great numbers, so who the f*&^ cares if it will get to 5 million by q3 or q4 of this year? I mean come on, the system pushing potential was used to the max, from this point on sales almost dont matter. Most copies out there are priced in the 20-30$ range. It had a good run, it will end up above 5 million, so who the hell looses sleep at night by not knowing if GoW3 is under/over tracked by 1-200k?

Sony just confirmed at E3 that GOW is under tracked.

They said its sold more than 21 million units. VGC only has GOW at 18.8million put together.

I doubt there are 2 million copies of GOW sitting in stores.... so obviously it is under tracked here.

Why is it always PS3 games that are accused of being under tracked.....lets just accept sales of games for what they are.

I mean I made peace with the fact that vgchartz will not count Halo Reach downloadable codes as sales :P
