Ben-DutkaIt's always interesting to see how many copies an exclusive game can sell.
One of the best games of the generation should sell a bunch of copies, regardless of the fact that it's only available on one platform. So we leave it up to you to determine if the current sales total for God of War III is enough: it has been brought to our attention that SCEA's masterpiece has just passed the 3 million mark worldwide. The numbers aren't official unless they're from the NPD but VGChartz is often close and just for the sake of argument and discussion, let's assume GoWIII is right around 3 million. Now, the question is, what do you think…? Should it be selling more, even if it's only available on the PS3? Or can this be considered a rip-roaring success? Other PS3 exclusives, like Uncharted 2: Among Thieves , Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots , have managed to perform impressively on the charts, and GoWIII's numbers are in line with those titles. Well, for the most part.
We just hope the developers continue to be satisfied with the sales totals, so they'll continue to provide gamers with unbelievable experiences. There's no doubt that exclusives tend to be the cream of the crop for any platform; a designer's dedication to one particular platform has proven beneficial over the years.

Heck yah, GOW3 has awesome graphics, story and gameplay.
GOW 3 selling 3 mil in 8 months is great and i imagine that it will sell more over the life period of PS3's ten year cycle. look at uncharted. it still racking up sales on a slow burn which is good for Sonys revenue stream. better to keep selling new games consistently over a period of time than to sell 10mil day one and then spend all that money on trying to repeat the process. I think Sony have a very clever business stratergy this gen. However with GOW3 i cant help but think it might have sold more in Europe if more advertising had been done. I think i saw the tv ad twice. I do hate the fact that they only start rolling out major advertising a couple of week in advance. I think more people would have got on board if Sony had started running more ad's 6-8 weeks before launch. I've hardly seen any adverts for GT5 in europe and thats out in 3 weeks. So while the sales for exclusives are great and will improve over time, Sony really need to step up their advertisements again to get the slow burners moving slightly faster
didnt it sell 1.1 mill in US alone first month? arcording to NPD
why are you guys using vgchartz? -__-
Unreal. If Microsoft had an exclusive sell this much they would say " this game has made 90 million dollars so far! and interest is at an all time high!" Unfortunately, considering how groundbreaking this game is, and how no other game EVER has offered such original and creative content, no, I don't think it is a success. The fact that red dead or MW2 can sell more makes me disappointed once again at gamers in general..
I bought this game at game-crazy when they were going out of business half off and it was brand new. It is a good game, but really hard for me.I am about half way down and i am stuck so no just playing madden 11, and midnight club complete addition.
