Actually that is good reason to choose one version over the other. If the ps3 game had exclusive content I would have got that. For the average consumer it might not matter much.

Nah they won't. Fable 2 will be really sucessful in both reviews and sales compared to WKC.  (WKC will be the better game, but thats not the point.)

The series has been going downhill, and the games aren't popular. SH: Homecoming is coming out this month.

fixed. Seriously, IMO, DLC is a really bad joke and anybody who touts it like it's a deciding factor this gen is a clown. I feel that DLC are things that should have been in the game originally, but they make u pay for it after (especially if it's right at launch, or near it). It's sad that MS has brainwashed all of those people into thinking that "exclusive DLC" means "FULL EXPERIENCE HERE ONLY!" (since MS is the ones that always buy* exclusive DLC and make it a big, big deal)

*Possibly as it is not proven.

I agree completely. Anyone who has followed Level 5 know that therir games are top quality and rapidly continue to get better and better.

*looks at Rogue Galaxy*

Wat? That damn extra dungeon is the worst thing to ever embrace mankind. No saves ANYWHERE? Are you kidding me? Other than that, I have to agree that Level 5 is a pretty good RPG developer though. =P

Yeh, I would have focused on Motorstorm 2, SOCOM Confrontation and LBP (possibly W HD), and they should get the PES 2009 commercial to have the PS3 logo featured in it, that game will be huge, and considering the PS3 version outsold the 360 version last year, they should really try and get that (the first proper next gen PES) to boost their hardware sales, they should work properly with their good friends Konami to make sure that that game is advertised massively.

Oh yeah, they need to save it for Resistance 2, which is going to have a mutlimillion $ advertising campaign (infamous will too).

What sony need to do is end their ridiculous adverts, and buy a massive amount of advertising for LBP to explain why it is so awesome, and just show MS 2 running in split screen, that will move tons of copies (maybe they could show off quicker load times to increase the sales by about 1m!)

You're kidding right? White Knight is going to outsell Fable 2? All data points way in the other direction. I'll use our own data.

Fable sales=2,600,000 total

Now here's where i'll run into a problem. Most Level 5 games only have data for Japan and none for other regions. However, Pofessor Layton has complete data and the trend shows Level 5 has the bulk of it's games sell in Japan. However, I will throw you a bone and match the Japanese sales for each game into the NTSC and PAL regions to be fair. Here's every original IP Level 5 has done on the PS2.

Dark Cloud=80,000 in Japan x 3=240,000 total
Dark Cloud 2=260,000 in Japan x 3=780,000 total
Rogue Galaxy=360,000 in Japan x 3=1,080,000 total

Now let's take a break to see that even as I was being VERY generous in the ghost sales I gave Level 5 games, all three of their console offerings combined couldn't break the sales of the original Fable. Level 5 PS2 games=2,100,000 against Fable's 2,600,000. Also remember that I am only counting Xbox figures for Fable. I'm completely leaving out sales for Fable: The Lost Chapters and Fable for the PC, because they are not available here.

Now I know what will be said next. Level 5 is MUCH more popular now. That is very true. Level 5 is a top software developer and can sell games off that name brand alone...in Japan. There is no data suggesting Level 5 will see anywhere near as good sales overseas, and that brings me to my next example, Professor Layton. This was the star making game that put Level 5 on the map. Japanese sales 980,000. American sales 260,000.

What makes White Knight so different that it'll buck these trends?

Did u just automatically assume that Fable 2 is going to sell 2.6 mil? Fail

Good point. Xbox 360 is much more popular than the Xbox was. Fable 2 has been hording media attention for over 6 months now. I'm sure Fable 2 will bomb miraculously. 500,000 copies confirmed.
