Maybe 4 more weeks until GOWA passes GeOWJ....




Update:

Sorry it has been a while since I have updated this thread. This will likely be the last update until December or if one hits 2m as I no longer keep up with threads like this or my old Halo 4 weekly number thread.

I'll try to update this throughout the year.  With Judement having a bigger launch neither seems to be having great legs.  God of War Ascesnion does pull out in front.  Both seems to be a bit of a disappointement and unless they get bundled this holiday it likely won't get much more exciting than this.  Taking Two months for them to sell 10-20K

Last Updated: 8/13/2013

Gears of War Judgement - 1.24m

God of War Ascension - 1.28m



Two months for them to sell 10-20K?

According to Vgchartz, during June + July GoW:A had impressive legs selling 130K & GeoW:J sold 50K. 

http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/game_comparison.php?reg=Global&ending=Monthly&game[]=God+of+War%3A+Ascension+%28PS3%29+[70705]&game[]=Gears+of+War%3A+Judgment+%28X360%29+[70765]&game[]=&game[]=

Both games pretty much equaled each other at launch when you consider that according to NPD GoW:A was under-tracked by 50K 1st month and that the GoW series is notoriously hard to track (i.e. partly why GoW3 is still under by 1m+) because it's very popular in emerging markets like Brazil, Mexico, India & Russia which aren't tracked so it could be even bigger than we think, it could even have hit 1.5m+ by now.

 

Going by Vghchartz estimates though, I think GoW:A will reach 1.75m by the end of the year & GeoW:J will reach 1.45m.

I don't believe either will have any bundles to give them a huge boost, although that special edition red PS3 GoW bundle (if it's still being produced?) might be on offer during Black Friday which will boost GoW:A & GoW Saga hugely. Next year Sony should release a budget dual-pack with GoW3 & GoW:A which will give both games a decent boost.  I don't see what can be done to boost GeoW:J, there's many more people playing GeoW3 MP instead and last month GeoW3 almost sold as much as GeoW:J, its legs will be dead starting next year, oh well at least it'll pass a decent 1.5m lifetime.

I don't expect this thread to be updated for a long time lol, don't see things getting more exciting until Black Friday or the Holidays. It would be great if GoW:A could hit 2m by the end of the year (unlikely) and sell over 2.7m lifetime (likely) which is enough to top DMC4 on PS360 thus the top 5 (6 including the GoW collection) bestselling hack 'n slash games will all be GoW's. :)

 

Time to say a long goodbye to this thread, hopefully things are more interesting when I check back in a few months.

Sorry, I screwed up some how :P

lol yeah it prob wont be updated for a while.  Sucks these games arent having better legs than this, though Ascension could have a pretty nice lead by December as it is selling consistently better.




       

Yeah, both sold okay.



The sales may not be spectacular for either, but I enjoyed both. I had a blast with my buddies playing GOW:J, and I LOVE the combat in Ascension. The most fun I had in any of the God of War campaigns. I guess I am in the minority, especially since I enjoyed both. xD



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS


This is the last update on this thread as neither are selling in the holidays, both were medicore and sold poorly compared to previous installments.  God of War Ascension was able to push 260k more units than Gears J though
