I really like Fable, but I have no idea who's pre-ordering the game. The Internet hype is small and according to my anecdotal evidence, no one even knows what a Fable is. Peter must be pre-ordering like crazy.

Smackdown vs Raw bomba....

What? No hype? There is tons of hype for it here, txb, ign, gamepot, even neogaf. No one knows Fable? tell that to the almost 4 million gamers who bought fable 2.

Neogaf only has 690 replies in their official thread and it's pretty much the same 30 people posting. Just to compare, the Goldeneye thread has over 1500 replies and it doesn't release soon. IGN and Gamespot are plastered with Fable 3 marketing, but the actual discussion going on in those sites and their respective podcasts are small. I'm just being observant, I don't care either way, it's just something I've noticed.

is it possible that vgchartz is overtracking preorders?? the game has been #1 on amazon on a while though. and it offers a $20 credit from amazon, walmart, etc.

Have to think that MS is shipping far more 360 S with Kinect bundles than Kinect standalone. I wouldnt be surprised if 3-4 to 1.

I would think they make more money that way.

This is the way to tell if Kinect is a success. It is all about moving more 360s. Kinect standalone are just bonus.

Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

That simply means the majority of gamers don't frequent gaming websites, or at least don't post on them. Which actually makes sense. If gaming boards were truly representative of the gaming population, Sony would be annihilating the competition.
