whoa lol dont jump to conclusions. I never said Fable 2 was going to bomb (wow, MS fans are crazy to jump to conclusions, is it something in the water?) I just said that u assumed that fable 2 is going to sell 2.6 mil. U can't assume ANYTHING. The world can end before it launches (with all the LHC talk heheh) and therefore selling 0 copies. The game could release with a 10 average rating on metacritic, it can also have a 5 average rating on metacritic. It could sell 2.6 mil first week, or it can sell 260k first week. See my point? nothing is guaranteed, therefore u can't ASSUME anything. It's like Starcraft was saying in another thread (the one with ToV going to PS3 thread), u can't assume that sales for PS3 JRPGs will pass 360's sales because it's not certain as it hasn't happened...yet...just like this :-) |
The whole post was speculatory and therefore he can assume whatever he wants. His numbers a pretty fair and he was generous with his PS3 sales. A lot of posts on this site feature assumptions and guesses to determine trends so you don't need to jump on him for his assumption and be childish. Plus I noticed that you didnt say anything about the PS3 sales that he speculated so whats your point?
Edit: Considering Fable sold 2.6 mil (according to VGC) on the Xbox, with previews for this game being positive as well as a higher install base (? might be wrong on that idk what the xbox's install base was at the time of Fable's release) 2.6 mil at least sounds pretty reasonable. But we've seen weirder things happen.
OT: Marketing in October is something Sony needs to do in NA especially if the 360 price cut is very successful.
