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?

Not exactly. 4th quarter 2010 is the prime-time (as always) to release.

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.

You're using logic that would play much better with last gens scenario than this years. God of War 3 will not be the best selling GOW ever. It wont outsell Resistence either.

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.


It will sell more amongst PS3 owners. When I say this I mean those whom are privy to its existence. The majority will not be  in the know.



You have to be kidding me if you don't think the release of the God of War lineup is going to be huge. i've never even played a single one of the games in the series because they came out so late into the PS2s life. i had moved onto playing PC games because my PC became more powerful than my PS2 and i didn't keep up with games coming out for the system anymore because of it. with that said 99% of people do not and will not own a PC that could run God of War 3 when it comes out. all of my friends that have ever played the God of War games can't tell me enough about how epic and fun it was, making it their favorite game on the PS2 of all time. I plan on buying the ENTIRE lineup (chains of olympus too) of God of War over the course of the next 7 months. i think God of War 3 sales are going to be something fanboys are going to try and downplay from now until the holidays of 2010 because it's just that intimidating.

comparing GOW in America to FF in Japan isn't logical.

WHY NOT

My evidence is in the OP.

Historical trends? FF XIII sales in Japan and God of War III sales in America will be very close.

So what makes one a system seller, and the other not a system seller? WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD.

The most intimidating game the PS3 has come out with all gen was MGS4. It sprung sales and sold out bundles. God of War is quite the underrated series for game of its acclaim. People don't downplay the sales because they want it to sell low amounts. The downplay the sales because of track records. GT5 will be the most intimidating PS3, finally putting a first party Sony game on top and letting the third party giant MGS4 rest.

First off....Americans aren't nationalists like the Japanese. We're full on capitalists.
