Hope it flops
hmm actually this is 3 years after the main one, so I'll forgive them if A) It's on 720, or B It's COMPLETELY reworked. Fable is a B rated franchise, he goes on about things being amazing in the game like being able to touch and pick people up, when you can do that in like most other adventure games for years now 0_o
Just sort it out Peter.

I can see it being the main core title at launch, as the series does sell pretty well. The 360 didn't have any AAA titles at launch. Perfect Dark and Project Gotham racing was alright, but not a big seller. I can see Fable IV and Forza 5 as a launch title in 2013, Gears of War 4/Zero (or whatever it will be called) and Halo 2 Remake in 2014, and Halo 5 in 2015. Halo, Gears of War, Fable, and Forza are currently Microsoft's biggest core exclusives. Of course there will be Kinect 2.0 with its own exclusives.

Yeah I see something like that.
2011: Forza 4, Gears 3
2012: Halo 4, Rare Game 1 or 2
(720) 2013: Fable IV (3 year dev), Forza 5 (2 year dev) Rare game (2 year dev)
2014: Gears 4 (3 year dev), Alan Wake 2/Crackdown 3
2015: Fable V, Halo 5, Rare game
This almost mirrors this gen, with a Gears game launching 1 year after launch, main Halo launching 2 years after launch along with Fable, and rare games at launch.
Only difference is Forza 2 years earlier to offset PGR, which MS might actually bring back as a launch title. Rare must have a lot in the pipeline, they were pumping out 2 retail and 2 XBLA games along with work on Avatars every 2 years, since 2008 we've only seen them work on Kinect Sports, heck even KS2 isn't really them it's big park, so I think we're gonna see a lot from them soon. Bolster those years with 3rd party exclusives and Kinect games and that's a fairly solid outlook.
I will say it's a terrible shame we can even predict this though, oh how predictable MS have become, I really want new IP from them next gen.
