Its just one game in the franchise. I would say its a "smart" move to disregard all sales of a franchise and look just at one game.

You would not count today Sonic Megadrive sales are you? They are irrelevant.

By that logic Mario is weaker than Halo since Halo 4 sold more than NSMBU.

Well, if we are talking not about all Mario games, but NSMB franchise - it is surely worn out and dont appeal to people anymore.

I would count Zelda total sales on all platforms from the year Fable released first (2004). To see which franchise is stronger

 

You are too quick to judge. If Zelda is indeed the weaker franchise we will see it in the next Fable vs Zelda games. Zelda definetly has the bigger mindshare no doubt about it. And a franchise can pick up again. One game selling bad doesn't mean the franchise is dead just that the game was not good enough. And since Zelda is a classic franchise people will pay attention if a new one releases and if its good it will sell again.

 

If you would make an auction for the rights of Zelda or Fable do you really think the Industry would pay more for the Fable name ?
