God of War 3 is heavily anticipated. More than Uncharted 2. 


Nope. Uncharted was bundled with the PS3, so Uncharted 2 has a higher chance of increasing its following.

People, a system spiker (not quite as high as a REAL system seller) is still a system mover. No, GOWIII won't move hardware like MGS4, Halo 3, GT5, SSBB did/will, but it WILL move systems.


The God of War series has a history of selling more within the Playstation community than attracking people to the brand.

That's silly to say. It sold within the "playstation community" because it came out 2005 when everyone already had a Ps2.

 

It didn't attract ppl to the brand because everyone already had the brand in their household at that time.

 

 

GOW3 will be a system seller in America just like FFXIII will be a system seller in Japan.

 

 

Yes, they will both move systems. Difference is, FFXIII is going to re-define the PlayStation 3 in Japan, GOWIII won't do that for it in America, IMP (prediction).

 

Elaborate please...

Hmmm, let's see.....

Final Fantasy is their "second coming" over there in Japan, next to Dragon Quest that is

GOWIII is a BIG PS3 exclusive in America, but not THE system seller for the NA side of the things, that's Gran Turismo...

Both will move systems, one will move MANY systems. Try to figure out which one is which...

GT4 didnt sell much more than GOW.

 

Only reason GT3 sold so much more is because it was bundled.

Perhaps you haven't had a look at numbers, EVERY GT has sold at least 9mill copies WW. GOW couldn't DREAM of hitting those #s.

Also, GT can sell 8-9mill without bundles, I'd bet money on it.

 

                   
                   
               
                   

Like I said, GOW couldn't DREAM of hitting those totals. He**, GT5: Prologue has outsold every GOW game to date, and it's just a Prologue..

 

 

 

I AM TALKING ABOUT AMERICA ONLY

 

HOW MANY TIMES DOES THAT NEED TO BE SAID? WHY DONT YOU GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD?! IVE ALREADY PUT IT IN BOLDED LARGE LETTERS. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT AMERICA ONLY MEANS?

not a huge system seller since it's releasing late in the gen.

 

It's coming out March 2010. Just a little over 3 years into the PS3's lifespan.

 

That's not late, it's prime time for a release.

 

Where do you guys come up with this stuff?



XxXProphecyXxX on 09 September 2009

Hmmm well the GOW series sold pretty dang good in NA only so who knows what Gow3 could do in NA and I think GOW3 could sell 2.5m - 3m depending on marketing and hype.

Ok, so what point are you trying to drive home here? YOU'VE BEEN TOLD, GOWIII WON'T BE THAT BIG OF A SYSTEM SELLER NO MATTER WHAT REGION YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

Damn dude, how many freakin' times does this need to be said to you, get THAT through YOUR head...

So you try going off topic on WW sales when the topic is clearly about America sales only, to get your point across? LOL

 

Fact is, GOW will sell just as many copies in America as FFXIII will sell in Japan. So how is one a system seller, and the other isn't? Explain that.

3 hour lines for the demo at E3. Yup, methinks lots of Americans will buy a PS3 for this game

jesus christ CGI you live in such a tiny microcosm of a world, as soon as someone thinks outside the box and says something NEW that your little world isnt familiar with, youre whole world starts tumbling down.

What kind of sales do you predict for Heavy Rain? I think 400k WW at most.



gustave154 on 09 September 2009

It will sell... We have waited 3 years for this and we have waited 5 years for GT5.
It won't sell gazillions like GT5 or FFXIII but it will still be a system seller.

Simple, GOWIII will sell to far more existing customers in NA than Final Fantasy XIII will in Japan

Now you're just making things up and going off assumptions. There is no evidence to back up your claim.

@Mr Nathan Drake

uhhh no.....GOW 3 has a chance to do good in NA base on the performance of last 2 games BUT it cannot (I repeat)cannot perform the same numbers like ff13 in JAPAN only or GT5 in NA only or w/e region only because the difference between FF13,GT5 compared to GOW3's brand power and popularity is HUGE!!!!!
