God of War III: Sony’s Killer App?

OTX analyst Nick Williams believes that God of War III could be the killer app Sony’s has been desperately in need of for the PS3. His reasoning is sound: a bunch of fans of God of War and God of War II do not own PS3 systems.

Williams is basing his conclusion on a recent consumer data poll which found that only two out of three people surveyed who plan to purchase God of War III currently own a PS3. But Williams also points out that Sony will have to put the price of its console in line with its competitors in order to get a significant gain in hardware sales.

God of War III is pegged for release in late 2009 or early 2010 at this time. If this data is true it could mean one of two outcomes for Sony: a boost in PS3 hardware sales or less than expected sales of God of War III due to the late adopters not willing to make the jump to Sony’s newest system.
