Amazing, I'm starting to really believe that we could have a lifetime sale of 10M+ for this game.

Considering VGC have week sales at about 250k from what was said earlier then they are lowballing the bundles.

And at the same time will be people saying GoW only sold good because of massive bundle.

We'll know next week.

Let's cheer for a great number.

Ok so this is turning out to be best selling exclusive on a playstation platform ever?? are there any exclusives games that sold better on previous consoles, I cant think of any??

GTA and GT on PS2 will need like 15M to be passed... and if you consider GT5P+GT5 18M for it to be safely be considered the best selling.

Well we still hear PS have no games every gen... so they will try to spin something.

If we select games we could make GoW sells more than 10 exclusives or something like that.

Because Halo3 wouldn't even outsell GT5P+GT5.

I could imagine Greenberg in his office making that statement and a staffer saying "it could come back to haunt us", with Greenberg replying I'll make sure we never have that many exclusives , if there's a backlash the media will blame the ceo,my integrity over exclusives every day , by the way how many of our third parties do we claim as exclusive? we might need a cull.

I don't think Greenberg is that good of a planner =p ... I think it was him around 2009 that said even if X360 stopped selling PS3 wouldn't ever pass them.

Nah it's just me having fun with an imagining of Greenberg.

I see, so this one will float in at around 7-8m then. Not including pack ins of course. Pretty solid I'd say.

Based on Horizon's sales (7.6 million in 1 year), I don't see how 7-8 million is the upper limit you see for this title.

I'm going based on the past series sales. I think I read GoW 3 is about at 8m. Also, Uncharted and TLoU float around that number too, though Uncharted 4 was heavily bundled.

And you be careful comparing this game to others. Doesn't go over well here.

The flip side of that argument is that a platform holder has a game people are willing to spend $300 for....

Halo 3 did 3.3m in first 12 days.
Gow 3.1m in 3 days only

I read that on resetera. Someone was asking earlier how these sales compare and there's your answer. God of war is now the bigger series. If you got by halo 5 numbers it's about 3 times bigger. Some difference a gen makes.
