Fable 2 & 3 sold that well due to mass bundling. I remember Fable 3 adding around 1.5 million during its xmas holidays bundle with Halo: Reach (digital). The main Fable trilogy would average around 2.5-3.5m per game without bundling, which is great. Zelda is a bigger series though, that said it seems to be losing popularity since 2006 with every game selling less and less (yes, I'm including handheld).

Good points. Yeah Fable bigger numbers may be due to bundling, but it is common practice of this generations. Say anything about bundles to sony fans and see their reactions.
But Zelda also losing it fanbase through years. You cant ignore this fact. If it have such big following, why nobody buying it?

Also, most of the thread - Zelda bigger, because, you know, it is Zelda. Well when, why only 3.5m on Z:SS and Z:OoT (3DS)?

I'm going to channel the spirit of Khuutra, and in lieu of burning your face off with a death glare as he would have, explain that Zelda, historically, has gone through zeniths and nadirs of popularity. Skyward Sword is simply a downswing game, but there will also be future upswing games, whereas Fable is pretty clearly going in one direction.
