God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP)

God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP) > Opinions (197)

	tontus posted 05/05/2013, 08:16 I should have added to why GoW:GoS sold much less. Piracy was huge at the time it released. It released the same year as GoW3 and was seen as vastly inferior (which is unfair to compare a PSP games to a PS3 game). Also the PSP was doing poorly everywhere in the world apart from Japan where apart from GoW3 the series was never popular. Looks like I was right about GoW:GoS being around 1-1.5m, it was at 1.2m by May 31st 2012. I wonder how much it sold now, probably around 1.75-2.00m (including digital). God of War: Chains of Olympus did amazingly well, I bet a God of War on the Vita could be just as successful and a vastly better game thanks to the much improved hardware and a 2nd analogue stick!

	tontus posted 28/10/2011, 04:21 I wouldn't say GOS had a deeper story because all the God of War games have amazing stories and writing, however GOS focused more a Kratos' character for the first time in the series which was not only brilliantly done and added depth to his character but really adds to the overall story in the series. I think GOS sold less at retail because it must've done amazingly on PSN, digital distribution was nowhere near as big when COO was released which explains why it did so well at retail. GOS is probably somewhere from 1-1.5m including psn. Message \| Report

	Khuutra posted 22/10/2008, 03:54 Played it after borrowing it from a friend. Solid game, but almost brutally short and everything felt less precise. The nubbin' is the worst joystick ever made for anything ever and I think it slightly hurt the feel of the game. Still, solid all around effort, and it's amazing how well they captured the feel of the PS2 games on a portable. The plot was actually very good, too. Message \| Report

	hunter_alien posted 03/08/2008, 07:03 MontanaHatchet: Daxter had 300k in the US, and even this year when they announced that they sold 2.3 million games from those almost 1.7 million where already in the US. So in the best case scenario I could see Daxter at 800k pre-bundles, and dont forget that the Daxter Bundle was released in the EU to. So either the bundle is overtracked in the US ( that I doubt ) or it did ~ 200-300k in Europe before the bundles and then ~ 500k more ( that I can imagine ). Message \| Report

	MontanaHatchet posted 02/08/2008, 11:36 That's where you would be wrong. Daxter has the sales numbers you specified, but it was also missing PAL numbers that easily could have put it over the million mark. Also, Naznatips is a funny guy. Message \| Report
	hunter_alien posted 31/07/2008, 10:13 Stats87 : the game did ~ 800k without bundles , sooner or later it would have reached the million.

	MontanaHatchet posted 31/07/2008, 01:38 I do this, Naznatips, because I love you: Naznatips says: "Hah, so many new releases that all the old ones (Wii Play, SMG, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4) got pushed out of the top 5. Really poor first week for God of War though considering how high profile the game was. With a first week like that 1 million units is a pipe dream." Posted on: 03/13/08, 23:23 Message \| Report

	Khuutra posted 22/10/2008, 03:54 Played it after borrowing it from a friend. Solid game, but almost brutally short and everything felt less precise. The nubbin' is the worst joystick ever made for anything ever and I think it slightly hurt the feel of the game. Still, solid all around effort, and it's amazing how well they captured the feel of the PS2 games on a portable. The plot was actually very good, too. Message \| Report

	hunter_alien posted 03/08/2008, 07:03 MontanaHatchet: Daxter had 300k in the US, and even this year when they announced that they sold 2.3 million games from those almost 1.7 million where already in the US. So in the best case scenario I could see Daxter at 800k pre-bundles, and dont forget that the Daxter Bundle was released in the EU to. So either the bundle is overtracked in the US ( that I doubt ) or it did ~ 200-300k in Europe before the bundles and then ~ 500k more ( that I can imagine ). Message \| Report
	Slavedemonxi posted 03/08/2008, 10:47 I just recently purchased the god of war psp bundle. This is a very fun game, and i'm glad to see that it's doing so well. Message \| Report
	MontanaHatchet posted 02/08/2008, 11:36 That's where you would be wrong. Daxter has the sales numbers you specified, but it was also missing PAL numbers that easily could have put it over the million mark. Also, Naznatips is a funny guy. Message \| Report
	hunter_alien posted 31/07/2008, 10:13 Stats87 : the game did ~ 800k without bundles , sooner or later it would have reached the million.

	MontanaHatchet posted 31/07/2008, 01:38 I do this, Naznatips, because I love you: Naznatips says: "Hah, so many new releases that all the old ones (Wii Play, SMG, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4) got pushed out of the top 5. Really poor first week for God of War though considering how high profile the game was. With a first week like that 1 million units is a pipe dream." Posted on: 03/13/08, 23:23 Message \| Report

	tontus posted 05/05/2013, 08:16 I should have added to why GoW:GoS sold much less. Piracy was huge at the time it released. It released the same year as GoW3 and was seen as vastly inferior (which is unfair to compare a PSP games to a PS3 game). Also the PSP was doing poorly everywhere in the world apart from Japan where apart from GoW3 the series was never popular. Looks like I was right about GoW:GoS being around 1-1.5m, it was at 1.2m by May 31st 2012. I wonder how much it sold now, probably around 1.75-2.00m (including digital). God of War: Chains of Olympus did amazingly well, I bet a God of War on the Vita could be just as successful and a vastly better game thanks to the much improved hardware and a 2nd analogue stick! Message \| Report
	tontus posted 28/10/2011, 04:21 I wouldn't say GOS had a deeper story because all the God of War games have amazing stories and writing, however GOS focused more a Kratos' character for the first time in the series which was not only brilliantly done and added depth to his character but really adds to the overall story in the series. I think GOS sold less at retail because it must've done amazingly on PSN, digital distribution was nowhere near as big when COO was released which explains why it did so well at retail. GOS is probably somewhere from 1-1.5m including psn. Message \| Report
