630,000 for March according to NPD.
I thought it was pretty widely accepted that GoW:A was a failure as far as sales are considered but maybe not.
Most certainly it didn't reach GoW3.

Shitty - though if cutting God of War, I will admit I was growing weary of those titles and would hope Sony is planning to transition talent to a new IP.
I imagine this is in response to GoW: Ascension ?
What? How is this his fault? Unless I missed something then slap me.
GOW Ascension sold way more than 360,000 in its first month. Not sure where they got those numbers.
This is odd, with the momentum Sony has going and all...
Still, GoW3 sold more in a month than GoW:A sold the whole year.
OT: Hoping it wasn't a PS4 game cancelled.

Sounds like they canceled a Vita game

I still have no idea how Team Ico exists. Two games released since 1997. What a waste of resources.Meanwhile Team Ico still has a blank check to work with when they haven't released a new game since 2005.
Evo must have a guardian angel at Sony. DriuveCloob is definitely their last chance, though.

Even I didn't have an idea the sales were that bad. Is it really a wonder they let some people go?
this is one of sonys flagship studios... why would they downsize here and not elsewhere, if anythi.g japan studios and gg need a major overhaul. whats the future for this company now?
Face it GAF, the AAA industry is going down in flames. I made a thread a couple of months ago where I brought the observation that teenagers aren't into trying lots of games anymore.
Thanks, I wasn't able to find out."This is a result of a cycle of resource re-alignment against priority growth areas within SCE WWS"

This comment is all sorts of wrong...If anyone deserves to be get screwed it sure is Cory Barlog.
WTF, didn't they say they were hiring when Irrational shut down last week? Why would they advertise that they might hire Irrational employees (via twitter), when they were about do a round of layoffs?
Don't get me wrong, I feel for the employees that got laid off.

Two big profile studios having major reductions, one outright closed. Face it GAF, the AAA industry is going down in flames. I made a thread a couple of months ago where I brought the observation that teenagers aren't into trying lots of games anymore. This reaffirms that observation. Sure the gaming audience has grown, but I would argue the "core" has actually shrunk in size.
I did not expect this. Or maybe I should've. Ascension was just a poor idea. I sure hope they didn't can the NOT God of War project, because by jobe I've had enough of that crap.
What the fuck Sony? This is the last thing you should be doing. Arrogant Sony already making a come back?
Then it actually makes sense. Maybe they were over leveraged at lower levels in the game production chain.It's weird since SSM was one of the few companies, who were ALWAYS hiring.

I can't understand first-party closures/downsizing. Sony's got three platforms they're trying to support - don't they need all hands making as much content as possible?
If it's in response to Ascension - the problem with that game was not with the developer, it was with a franchise that had seen its logical conclusion and was fatigued.
What? Joke?
