I was expecting that game to top Galaxy's score, but it seems none of the actual games are going to. God of War is my favorite serie on the Playstation, I really love those games and promise to buy it first when I'll get my PS3.

The Action, the story the new Dodge Mechanics, Weapons and fighting all make it the BEST GOW out of the lot.

The Graphics Rival CG at times, is one of the best looking games I have ever Played....

It wont beat MGS4. It hasnt got the Japanese support, the previous GOWs haven't been impressive in Others if the numbers on here are correct.

Which just leaves US where its equal.

I really think this game will manage to sell like MGS4. Considering that the preorders in America are 480k, I think the first week sales in america will be around 750k; in EU should be around 630k; and in Japan something around 50k.

Making a total of 1.4M first week.

Well God of War 1 and 2 didn't have incredible sales considering how many PS2s are out there and they were major releases. Even God of War on the PSP only cleared 1.5 million and that's one of the best games on the PSP.

With that said... I'm not expecting impressive numbers but maybe PS3 owners are hungry for a game like this.

@ frozone: the story isn't great but is sure better than average, the game itself is EXCELLENT (best hack n' slash of this generation), the graphics r unbelievably gorgeous (nothing else comes close), GOW3 is ridiculously undertracked, and u're very much full of it. >=)

Just picked this up. GOW3 is killa,killa story with stellar graphics! GOW 3,uncharted, gran turismo and killzone have the best graphics for ps3 exclusives .Story is incredible like uncharted and resistance series.This game alone is just a work of art probably one of ps3's best games this gen.

It is also undertracked in the USA for the first 3 weeks by over 200k. NPD has first 3 weeks at 1.1 million in the U.S.A. and VGC only has it at 900k. VGC sales are never accurate
