Translation: The developers at Sony Santa Monica said there will be sexual content on it's next title God of War III.
The developers also said that the game will run in 1080P and there will be neither online play nor Sixaxis support.
When we got our first look at God Of War III last week, Sony said it would wait until E3 to announce the game's release date, which now appears to be sometime in 2009. According to a recently issued press release, God of War III will be released sometime this year. The PlayStation 3 title is just one of many games the publisher has planned over the next year, including Zipper Interactive's MAG, the "massive action game" it announced at E3 2008.
@Joe80, I would like to invite you to short this game. The more the merrier. If my prediction are anywhere close to actual, you can get 20% (minimum) - 60% (maximum) profit from this stock if you invest now.
If I didn't have so much investing in Diablo 3 and Halo Wars, I would have shorted more this stock (I have 3 Million + worth of short in this one).
@shrapnelmagnet, Good point about GoW 3 not being as strong in JA. I hadn't thought of that. The wisdom of crowds. I'm still unsure of GoW 3 sales so I hold no position in it currently.
It would mean 20%, not 25%, and that figure isn't beyond the realms of possibility, GTA reached a higher figure if you factor in the relativity of the userbases. GoW3 is a single platform release as well, and will likely have very long legs.
That being said I agree the figure of 5 million is overvalued, but such is the traits of TSE, it wont go down until it is near release or a shortwhile after once some sales data comes out.
We'll say, for argument's sake, that when God of War 3 is released, there are 25 million PS3's out there... How is one game going to sell 5 million - or to 25% of *ALL* PS3 owners, that's insane isn't it?
Maybe I'm missing something?
I think other people's predictions of 3 million seemed a lot more reasonable, even if it means outselling it's previous installments. Surely 5 million is ludicrous...
@JoshuaJSlone, Some game that I recall (none on PS3 that I am aware of): Animal Crossing : Wild World, NDS (blow away N64 and GC version) NSMB blow away every Mario Game not named "Super Mario Brothers". SMB was bundled with NES, and NSMB is not bundled with DS. DQVII is higher than previous DQ (1 - 6, if you separate DQ4 remake and DQ4) FFVII is much higher than previous FF (1 - 6, in Japan. Not sure about WW, forgot the #)
Of course, the above mentioned are "special case", unique things that "overperform". The standard is sales # going down. :)
