The relationship to Natal could drive a few more sales. Perhaps he knows something we don't :)

I found Fable 2 to be a huge improvement over Fable 1. If Fable 3 is another huge improvment, then maybe it can do 5 million. Counting packins, and greates hits edition.

it should, the series deserves high sales, its a great WRPG

sadly not all games end up getting the sales they deserve

As of right now? I don't see it happening.

Maybe if the game is awesome and is marketed is a large extent, then maybe.

That is going to be tough...but I think it's possible, especially if it is bundled. The install base has grown, and if they can have some meaningful integration of Natal into the Game, that might be the extra push needed to get the additional sales.

It doesn't need to sell 5M copies, he just wants to sell 5M and he wants to bathe in money. I guess it means they've cracked over 10M sales for Microsoft since they were bought which is I dunno at least 500M revenue.

I wasn't aware fable3 was on the xbox according to the article I know fable 1 was.

I think that depends whether Microsoft is willing to bust out their checkbooks for a massive marketing campaign.

Im really not a huge fan of peter molyneux or the games he has designed, he seems to come up with some great concepts but i think he needs someone higher than him who can just goto him and say look dude thats not gonna work etc.

In short no i dont think fable 3 will sell that well i dont think it appeals to what people want to play atm

I don't see it happening unless they advertise the hell out of it...not cuz it's a bad game but it's not 'that' mainstream 'imo'

But here's hoping it will be a good game...who cares about sales
