Analyst: Gears of War: Judgment, God of War: Ascension weak in March

4.8
Analyst firm Cowen & Company estimates high-profile March launches God of War: Ascension and Gears of War: Judgment both sold far less than their predecessors. The firm projects (via GI.biz) that Ascension sold 360,000 in the US during March and Judgment moved 425,000, down from first-month sales of 1.1 million for God of War 3 and over three million in Gears of War 3's first week of availability.

A much better March for Tomb Raider and BioShock Infinite is predicted. The Crystal Dynamics reboot has amassed 696,000 sales in the US over March, while the firm says BioShock Infinite is near 665,000 in just 10 days.

Cowen & Company predicts NPD data for March will show a decline in software and hardware spend compared to last year, though the firm is hopeful the launches of StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm and SimCity will help contribute to a substantial increase in PC game sales.

I'm not surprised GOW sold less because I was quite disappointed in GOW 3.

I looked at the game but It didn't seem any good Ive played all the past gears and they just seem to have got worse.

I Like the new gears game, but the old one is alot better than gowj.

Rabbi_NASA Well I can see why Gear of War sold low, they completely ruined the game which made Gears, Gears.


I honestly think GoW is a terrible game. I mean fan based wise it is up there with CoD and Halo. But I think the game is complete crap and needs to be taken out of the market.

This isn't much news, it was inevitable.

Yeah, they took GoW3 and tried to turn it into a totally different game.
