The Legend of Zelda is one of THE defining video game series and has multiple entries that fully deserve to be mentioned in any all time great list.

Fable is...not that.


This.

Sales doesn't come into it, Fable is nothing compared to Zelda, anone saying otherwise is...well...possibly not human or about 5 years old.

Oh, and there's a Zelda cartoon so there!

So let's say a new Fable and a new Zelda gets annnounced on the same day. Which one will be more exciting for majoratiy?

After Fable 3 and the Journey  nobody will seriously be excited anymore.

You must to know that, but Xbox fans not really presented on the internet.

Nintendo and Sony fanbase - much stronger. To me - i would equally exciting to see new things in both titles. But if the Zelda doesnt progress much more from last entry and series as whole - meh. Im tired of the same gameplay over and over.

lol, how do you know this??? wow, just wow. And btw, Internet activity has nothing to do with an game event where games get announced.

Look at this forum, look at neogaf, look at other gaming forum.

Big number of Sony glory threads, huge amount of MS hate threads, average amount of Nintendo threads and very little Xbox threads.

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.

We need wait to Z:WW HD realese. You will see, no more than 2m in 2 years. Most likely 1.5m sales.

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 ?

Dunno. Look at Zelda sales. This franchise really overstimated because of the media buzz. And yet, nobody really buying it except hardcore Nintendo fans.


WW is a rerelease and the original wasn't that popular among the fanbase, its sales will not be as representative as a new mainline Zelda similar (not equal) to Fable the Journey and the Fable franchise.

 

But I think that on a software starved Wii U, WW will sell more than 2 Milion. Its not like Wii U owners get many games. And I think the artstyle will appeal to alot of people. Could see it selling  well if they show it on TV for christmas.

 

Media buzz is directly related to the worth of a franchise, and It doesn't matter who buys the game sales are sales and alot of fanboys is a good thing. They are the best customers, again a reason why Zelda is more worth than Fable it has a hardcore fanbase many times bigger than the Fable hardcore, those guys stay with Zelda

 

If Fable 4 sells 5-6 Million and the next Zelda mainline 3-4 than I would say you are on to something but right now its too early to make that call, imo. If its a trend or just a slip up nobody knows. Its not like this hasn't happened to Zelda before. Zelda games sold sometimes better, sometimes worse. One game is not enough data to judge a classic franchise which is almost 30 years old.

Things I learned in this thread:

1) Fable is by far superior than Zelda, even when Zelda outsells Fable in almost every entry and being much more popular and known.

2) Zelda is niche, because it "only" sells 3m and its just for fans, not for everyone

3) Joe talks to himself

Everyday is school day...

Skyward Sword released way too late in the gen. It basically had a year of sales only. And it sold 3.58 million in that one year.

For reference, in that same year only 5 million Wiis were sold...

This isn't even a comparison tbh, more like some kid's desperate attempt to substantiate Fable as something it isn't.
