Even for The Last of Us, I think the game will reach "only" 500-600k first week (250-300k in NA and 250-300k in Europe) even if I hope it'll do much better.

Let's see. Here are some fairly pessimistic estimates for TLoU in the coming weeks

Pre-orders in US NOW: 160k
Pre-orders in US at Launch: 250k - 350k (assuming it averages 7-15k pre-orders per week, which is a very modest estimate)
Pre-orders in NA at launch: 300k - 400k (a modest increase for other NA territories)
First Week Sales in NA: 400k - 500k (actual sales are always considerably higher than total pre-orders)

So yeah, your 250-300k estimate is looking low.

Assuming VGChartz data is correct of course.

I have a feeling TloU is being overtracked and GoW:A is being undertracked. Reasons, TloU is doing nowhere near as well as GoW:A in every bestsellers list I've been looking at and what caused the pre-orders to randomly pick up so much?! And the reason I think GoW:A is undertracked is because, as mentioned, it's been doing amazingly in the charts and that new live action trailer + 30min demo generated a lot of hype and gained a lot of attention. The TLoU demo that comes with GoW:A also got a lot of peoples attention, a good amount of people are now going to get the game they otherwise maybe wouldn't have.

And finally in the past all the God of War games were MASSIVELY undertracked on Vgchartz (although eventually they were all adjusted adequately but GoW3 was accidentally reset after a week but has yet to be corrected), it is very highly possible that the same is happening again for God of War: Ascension so don't be surprised when NPD or Sony announce sales figures and they're much higher than Vgchartz estimates.

You have an odd way at measuring "hype"....

 

....So do I..

Let's see who had the most popular videos on YouTube.

 

God of War: Ascension Gameplay Demo - Sony E3 2012 Press Conference

 IGN·82,464 videos
  2,346,897
1,891,973
       347

The Last of Us E3 2012 Gameplay

 PlayStation·1,555 videos
  627,369
3,771,134
       770

 

The Last of Us Gameplay Demo - E3 2012

 IGN·82,464 videos
  2,346,897
2,636,643
       447

 

 

All of these videos released on the same day. TLoU has had two (Yes TWO!) videos with more views than GoW:A's most popular video.

So as you can see, as per YouTube, the people are more excited for The Last of Us than God of War: Ascension. Your argument is invalid.

I don't even know what it's about and how it plays. That says a lot, coming from me!

Go back to your PC, Dude!

You don't know nothing about great quality games.



Double post.



Is Luigi's Mansion really coming out in 7 weeks? If true, that thing needs to pick up some sales!

They just need to rename it to "Luigi AND Mario's Mansion"

Billion seller confirmed.

No, Mario's name is already milked enough.
