This is Preliminary data provided by VGChartz. God of War III looks to outperform its predecessor by 20-30% in the Americas

With over 450,000 units sold on day one, week one sales are presumed to be around 650,000 – 700,000 units. This can be compared to 540,000 units sold for God of War II in week one. As of now it looks like God of War III may outperform God of War II (released on PS2 in March 2007) by 20-30%.

With the game releasing across Europe today, total worldwide sales for the week should be around one million copies – more than other recent PS3 blockbusters like Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, MAG and Final Fantasy XIII (western release) and would take total sales for the God of War franchise to over 10 million units sold. God of War II only sold around 140,000 units in week one in Other Regions by comparison, but VGChartz expects sales to be much stronger this time around compared to the Americas based on pre-orders across Europe which suggest a week one of around 300,000 units or more than a 100% increase on God of War II.

This is nice though the source is very unreliable as they always under-track PS3 sales and over-track Xbox sales.


The Owner of the site who has still not said how he tracks sales is one dude who was banned from Neo-Gaf for doing same thing and later went to create his own site.


So i predict the sales are even higher, and the sales could reach 900k to 1M in one week except if the PS3 shortages adversely affects it's sales.

World Wide, it could get up to 6-7M this year and life time it could reach 8-9.5M, that's Huge.

kosovo, ur hopeless!
to say that a legit site like vgcharts alters the numbers is just plane idiotic ^{i mean, seriously, why would they do that}
6-7 million this yr, really? r u dat daft?
always making excuses! it's irritating
