Forums - Sales - God Of War III To Be A Sales Monster?

dtewi on 16 August 2009

The value of hype seems to be more objective than subjective though. For example, Super Mario Bros. 3 had an entire movie and most likely hundreds if thousands of commercials. God of War III will not have that much hype because Sony probably doesn't see it as a large seller.

I mean damn are some of you that touchy about one freakin' line: "the game holds the biggest hype amount possible for a videogame ever". Who cares if that's what the author thinks, it's his opinion.

To many, GOWIII does have that amount of hype, so? What's the big deal?

People (and myself) are just commenting on the article and it's factual errors. I'm sure if someone said Heavy Rain was made by an awful dev you would be in there like a shot!

People have already said that, and I personally don't care. That has nothing to do with what I'm saying anyway. At the end of the day, what kind of hype a game has is stupid to try and determine and fight over. Who gives a damn?

I swear gamers really worry about the dumbest stuff now-a-days.

In that case why do you need to comment about anything?

I doubt anyone is "worrying over it" or fighting.

Well this remains to be seen.

Well, yes it does, but I think we can safely predict Sony wouldn't advertise it as much as say Gran Turismo due to its poorer track record.

Read the edit, I didn't realize it was you...I wouldn't have said anything seeing as how I don't usually get the vibe that you're trying to start an issue. My mistake.

lol, you're right I wasn't trying to start anything. I actually found the comment funny and stopped reading after that, hence why I don't have much else to add to the thread.

GOW doesn't necessarily have a poorer track record. Gran Turismo is just their biggest franchise, and therefore, would receive higher amounts of marketing. Think Gears of War and Halo, Gear sells great, Halo sells MUCH greater. See what I'm sayin'...

Well, let's think of it like this. Kingdom Hearts is a large series than God of War. The second sold 3.7M. But there wasn't extreme hype for the game. Nor will there be for 358/2 Days or Birth By Sleep. I'm saying that it is logical to assume it won't have heavy marketing.

The true and best game that Sony can release that'll hopefully push the PS3 closer to 360 is Gran Turismo 5.

"the game holds the biggest hype amount possible for a videogame ever"

This is so wrong it hurts!  I think it will sell well (3-4 mill) but its not gonna sell like mad.  Gonna be a freakin sweet game though.

Uncharted 2 >>>>>>>>>> God of War 3.

Thats all I have to say, anyone who says that God of War will outsell Uncharted is dissing Nathan Drake and Naughty Dog!



Tease.
