Indeed. God of War III is Sony's "Triforce of Power" in America for Q4 2009. Now if they can just manage to link that with their "Triforce of Wisdom" in Europe (Gran Turismo 5) along with their "Triforce of Courage" in Japan (Final Fantasy XIII) with a $100 price drop in all territories, Q4 2009 will be an epic time for the PS3.

 

God of war 3 is not even close to the titles you mentioned , it will not help ps3 sales at all.

It's by far the least impactful of the three games, but if you think God of War III's release will have an insignificant impact of PS3 sales then you're sadly mistaken.

To put it in perspective, God of War III will have a bigger impact than any game currently announced to be coming to 360 including Halo 3: ODST, Halo Wars, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Ninja Blade, Alan Wake, Ninety-Nine Nights II, and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction. The only unannounced upcoming 360 exclusives that are even in the same ballpark as God of War III as far as selling systems is concerned are Forza Motorsport 3 and Mass Effect 2, and both of those are still quite a ways under GOWIII.

Simply put, if God of War III won't "help PS3 sales at all", then Microsoft is in big trouble because they don't have a single game coming this year that will sell more systems than GOWIII.

 

You have to be on some serious jesus juice  to believe that the 3 games bolded will not sell far more systems than gow 3 . The god of war series was never a system seller and there is no reason that it will start now.

EDIT : The J man just realized that you just said that  a HALO game will be an inferior system seller than gow and for that your post should be taken with a grain of salt.



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

Meh, I really don't care about GoW3. I have the first two, and I never beat the second. I got them sort of retroactively after they had been out for a long time (got them just a few months ago) thinking they would be absurdly awesome. I thought the fight with the hydra was cool, and the rest of the game never reached that level of coolness, even the last battle in the first one was pretty lame. The second one I thought the fight with the colossus was awesome, and then I once again got bored after that. I got more than half way through apparently, but then just quit out of boredom. I really don't care about GoW3 in the least.

I think it very much remains to be seen whether an expansion pack or a strategy spin off game, even with a 'Halo' label can push hardware.

I'm excited about this game. Eventually I will buy a Playstation 3 at least partially to play it.

I never really got God of War. Then again, I never really got Devil May Cry either, I found those utterly boring. Heavenly Sword wasn't too bad though but still not great fun.
Guess its just not my genre?

I agree with that... yet i like other games in the genre.  Gameplay just isn't there much... seems more focused on flash then anything.

Apparently the guy likes God of War 3.

It's not like he's seen anything we haven't though.

I wouldn't put too much hope into Star Ocean, according to this site the highest selling game was 1.29 milion without Europe numbers. That would put it at 2M MAX, on the PS2 software selling machine.

Those two Halo games, I don't think they can sell any systems at all, but we will see.

Star Ocean has NEVER been anything remotely CLOSE to a system seller. It's not even in the same league as the God of War series. Furthermore, if you can ask online and find me more than 20 people who will be purchasing a 360 for either Halo 3: ODST or Halo Wars, I will be surprised. Halo 3 was one of the biggest video game releases ever and it has sold over 8 million units worldwide. It has COMPLETELY saturated the 360 market for the Halo franchise. Do you honestly think that anyone will buy a 360 for a spin-off and a expansion of the game that almost 1 in every 3 360 owners already owns?

One more potential!

Seriously, the word "potential" should be scratched out from the PS3 vocabulary. It's starting to look ridiculous.

 

bu it certainly looks better than any 360 game in 2009 going of previews.

piss off!

 

Star Ocean 4 looks better. Anyway, God of War is like 300. It's for male teenagers and adults that are in love with violence and shades of grey, brown and red.

i liked both god of war and 300 for its story first then its cool action, im a story first kind of guy

I think that Halo Wars and Halo3.5 will sell well, but why would they push people to buy the console if Halo 3 couldn't?
