Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft targets 5m Fable III sales, profits of $150m

scat398 on 30 June 2010

It's got a good chance to make 5 million.  This christmas we should see a lot of sales in software for the 360 with slim and kinect bundles expected.  The additon that fable will be appealing to the broader action market and it's kinect "features" could lead it to the mass market game Peter is trying to achieve.

Will just have to wait and see.

Whether or not he overhypes/underdelivers, Fable games definitely have a unique atmosphere that I can't get enough of. 

I will be there day 1 for Fable 3 no matter what...

If Pete Says So it has to be True guys!!!!!! he NEVER highly Overhyped Fable 1 or 2, he always delivered.

lol i actually think Fable 3 can hit 4-5 million easy. but Hopefully Fable3 is a better game then fable 2.  

 

ALL IN MY OPINION.



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords

Its definately doable. Its not significantly more than what he has achieved in the past and he has a much wider audience to sell to.



Tease.

LOL.....Fable isn't Gears. Molyneux is such an arrogant ass that cannot see the short comings and false promises of his own mouth and product.

Yeah!! Fable 2 only sold 3.64m and Fable only sold a pathetic 2.59m 

Terrible sales.   

Wake up Peter!!

o.O

3.64 isn't 5m as Gears

Thats what I said... 3.64m is terrible.

hehe

Will most likely make it, he announced 4 mill shipped for Fable II, without this episodic stuff


they will have to discount the game to reach there and that way they will not get $150m profit

I can only pray that Lionhead quickly withers...

Actually, the studio can stay, it's just Molyneaux who needs to go.

My "Accepting Bulls***" meter is completely filled due to IGN's shenanigans, I'm afraid.  Time away from that site has built up more space, and Petey might've slipped through, but then Sakamoto and his Metroid revisionist nonsense got there first, and now I'm all out of space for another year again.

Somehow, I highly doubt that's happening any time soon.
