So what? God of War Ascension still outsold it every week in Nov,Dec,Jan without a single ad.

What? i seen plenty of God of War Ascension banners on various websites.

And i've seen plenty of Gears of War Judgment banners on various websites, and IGN keeps spamming my inbox with gears of war gameplays and trailers on YouTube.

I'm not calling you a liar or anything, but what sites did you see the banners on?

I don't know because i was lying, like you!

I visit a lot of gaming websites on a daily basis and i have never ever seen a God of War Ascension banner or any type advertisement. True story, bro!

God of War easily. Ascension is owning Gears in the US and that's Gear's biggest market.

exactly and Gears is historically more front loaded so if the pre-order numbers hold, or even if Gears opens slightly better (making up a huge gap), it will still be a sign that GoW will outsell Gears

God of War: Ascension will easily be the biggest exclusive on consoles in 2013, it will open bigger and sell more lifetime than Gears of War: Judgment. GoW:A is already destroying Gears:J in its biggest region and GoW is much bigger in Japan and Europe. I think a more interesting question would be can The Last of Us match or sell more than Gear:J, I predict they'll be a lot closer than Gears:J will be to GoW:A.

God of War: Ascension lifetime = 5.75 - 6.25 million.
Gears of War: Judgment lifetime= 4.50 - 5.00 million.

I was looking at some old NPD data for the month of March 2010 and Vgchartz undertracked God of War III in the US alone by around 150,000 units, the game's still undertracked now by around 1 million worldwide so I imagine it's going to be a similar case again with God of War: Ascension. It's best to wait for NPD figures or official numbers before comparing both games to each other or previous installments in both franchises and coming to any conclusions... Although it's a safe bet to assume Gears of War: Judgment will sell nowhere near as well as past games in the series.

I don't know if thats true or not, Sorry if i offended you

I thought we were talking about TV ads, Movie theater ads, Posters.....etc?

Advertising on gaming websites/YouTube channels only helps new ip's, they don't help big franchises like God of War or Gears of War because the hardcore gamer will know about them without the ads.



I think this will be really close, but I'll give the edge to God of War.

I think Gears will benefit from being one of the only big-name titles on 360 this year, but those pre-order numbers are troubling.

Gears of War: 3.2 million
God of War: 3.7 million

No marketing

Removal of Down But Not Out 

Removal of Humans Vs Locusts

Removal of Horde

No Epic or Limited Edition

Different developers 

Baird being the lead protagonist

God of War Ascension was outselling (Pre-Orders) Gears of War Judgment before it got that 1 advertisement.


If marketing is the main reason behind the poor pre-sales and possibly lifetime sales of GOW Judgement, then is marketing the main reason why most xbox exclusives outsell ps3 exclusives?  If Halo 3 had less marketing and equally to Gran Turismo 5, would Halo 3 sell 11+ million or much less?




My predictions:
God Of War: Ascension = 4.7 million units in its first year
Gears Of War: Judgement = 4.1 million units in its first year
