God of War has become Sony's fastest selling PS4 exclusive. Thanks to tons of hype, extremely positive word of mouth and a healthy distance from the last entry in the series, fans rushed to get in on the action and propelled the game to 3.1 million sales in three days. As someone who isn't even that big of a fan of the past games, even I have to say that I'm interested in seeing what this new game is all about.
Santa Monica Studio head Shannon Studstill had this to say about the game's success:
