TIL to measure how big a franchise is you only look at the sales of the most recent installment...sigh...

Some useful VGChartz tweaks

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...

Yeah sounds about right

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Fable is not very known. Most people never heard the name Fable or associate a game with it..

Yet it sells better than "way better known" Zelda. You can't explain that, unless you count NES and N64 sales (very "smart" move btw).

It didn't sell better, it was just bundled better.

Don't bother Viper... there is no arguing with this guy. Do what I should have done from the start: do not feed.

That was my intention at first but I couldn't help posting that one.

You guys are clearly bonkers, Fable is clearly the larger series. Why do you think Robin Williams named his daughter Fable?

I'll have a daughter and call her Zelda. I think it is a cool name. Also, Zelda Williams is pretty, so pretty,

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

I'll say this backwards.
Fable 3 was a shit game with bad direction and an infuriating system.
Fable 2 was way too easy and in no way exhibited RPG-like behavior. A rip off that at best was for casuals.
Fable 1 the only fable to exhibit promise
The Fable franchise after four games hasn't built a legacy at all. It is a hollow high budget game.
