According to analyst firm Cowen & Company, the hyped prequels for both God of War and Gears of War aren’t the selling juggernauts their previous games were. Gears of War: Judgement fared better than God of War: Ascension, selling 425,00 copies. Ascension diddled out a paltry 360,00 units. Compare that to Gears of War 3 knocking over 3 million out in its first week and God of War 3′s first month’s sales of just over 1 million.
The Tomb Raider reboot and the critically praised Bioshock Infinite however are doing much better according to estimates. Tomb Raider has managed to get into the hands of 696,000 hands in March while Infinite has 665,000 copies out the door in a mere 10 days.
Could this be a sign for the recently announced Batman: Arkham Origins? It too will be a prequel game, handled by a different developer. Both Arkham games have done a stellar sales job but are gamers sick of prequels? Or was March just too packed with other quality titles? Or was it too many GoW games? Let us know what you think in the comments after the break!

Spike put on its annual VGA award show on December 11th and again it was another huge success. Hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, the show featured a first by not giving out the awards at the actual show. The Spike program aired in over 175 different countries. Typically the game of the year follows the best overall game for play-ablility, replay value and enjoyment. This is not Rockstar’s first game of the year, in 2008 they won for Grand Theft Auto IV and in 2004 they won for GTA: San Andreas. Read more: Red Dead Redemption Wins Big at VGA’s
