Forums - Sales Discussion - God of War 2 selling PS3's

roadkillers on 21 February 2007

For March do you think God of War 2 will help sell PS3's with the 420p support (and possible 720p support but many say that was taken away)?

Nope. It has not benefits on the PS3. Graphics will look the same on the PS2 and it will be cheaper. So, no, will not sell PS3.

Only people without PS2's or a PS3 may pick up a PS3 to play it. One of my friends traded in a PS2 & PSP so he could get a PS3 for half price (and play God of WarII).

I agree that most people who are looking forward to this game already have PS2s (or PS3s). I doubt any PS2 game at this point could sell many PS3s.

I still have my PS2, I also have a PS3. I don't want to play any PS2 games on the 3 system. I don't want to "wear" it out. Benefits on the PS3? There might be some advantage on the PS3 but How much could it be? I thought the original GOW had amazing graphics.

GOW2 has beaten GEARS in terms of graphics and gameplay. It would sell wayy more than that g***** GEARS. why is ps2 beating x360 in NA (in terms of sales) 2:1 in Europe and 4:1 in japan( where x360 is a dead console). GOW2 would sell ps2s as well as ps3s.

Fact 1: GOW2 certainly has worse graphics than Gears. Fact 2: How the hell would you know if it has better gameplay than Gears since it's not out yet? Conclusion: Quite clearly you are an idiot.

the whole point of GOW2 is to keep the PS2 alive as long as possible in order to help keep the Sony games division afloat. you'll probably see PS2 sales jump a little in March, and GOW2 will probably sell somewhere between 2.5-5million copies producing a total revenue of $100-200 million. Considering it is a last-gen game using the same engine as the original game, it probably cost Sony relatively little to produce, so Sony's gonna make a killing off this one title, which should help diffuse some of the losses due to the PS3.



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

Have you even played Gears of War? I don't think you have. God of War 2 looks fantastic, and amazing, but it's absolutely positively nowhere near the quality of Gears of War. The PS2 isn't beating the 360 2:1, but Im sure its semi-close. Sony has a lock on Europe, and will do well with PS3, regardless. As for the first question....Yes, God of War 2 will help the PS3, but not a whole lot - March will have plenty of system-sellers for the PS3 already there.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
