God of War III Sales Pass One Million Units Worldwide
By Brett Walton 24th Mar 2010
The final chapter in the God of War trilogy manages to outperform all previous versions in week one and becomes one of the fastest-sellers of 2010 to date
Following on from the massive success of Final Fantasy XIII last week which managed to sell over one million copies on PS3 and on the back of some very strong reviews (a 9.4 from VGChartz), God of War III set a similar sales benchmark for the week ending 20th March 2010 with just over 1.1 million units sold worldwide. In terms of regional breakdown around 700,000 units were sold in the Americas and 400,000 in Europe and Other Regions (excluding Japan).
The God of War series has now sold over 11.5 million units worldwide and while a 1.1m week one is impressive and nearly 400,000 units higher than God of War II managed back in 2007, God of War III has a long way to go to beat the first two games.
