God of War is VERY Popular

While we all knew that God of War was going to sell well, especially when you take into account the outstanding metacritic score it got – aided by a 10/10 from us! – I’m not sure anyone expected the opening weekend sales numbers that Sony has recently published. According to a post on the PlayStation blog, God of War sold 3.1 million units on its first weekend, which is phenomenal for any video game launch.

Here is what Shannon Studstill (Studio Head, Sony Santa Monica),

“I would like to personally thank the millions of fans around the world who decided to embark on Kratos’ latest adventure with us. Your support is truly inspiring, and it’s a reason why we push ourselves every day to go beyond the boundaries of play. I’d also like to thank our Creative Director, Cory Barlog, and Director of Product Development, Yumi Yang and our entire amazing team at Santa Monica Studio. The belief in the game’s vision and the passion for storytelling across the team is undeniable. We look forward to hearing more about how fans are creating new memories of their favorite God of War gameplay moments that will be remembered for a long time.”
