Fable 2 will most likely outsell LBP. But LBP is going to be really hard to predict in regards to how well it sells.



both of them will do very good...but i think fable 2 will get more copies sold



Around the Network

Fable 2 will outsell LBP in first month NPD handily. I've seen pre-order data from multiple stores on both these and they are not even close. Overall who knows, IIRC the first Fable did 3 or 3.5 million. With that said Fable 2 looks to be even bigger and better.

Fable 2 just a couple of days ago was the most anticipated game among gamers per Gamestats as well. Even edging out Gears 2 a bit. It's oing to be very big indeed. Here and Europe, considering that is it's home territory.

In my opinion Fable 2 will have bigger initial sales (especially because it's not a new IP and therefore already has fans who will pre-order it), but if LBP receives the tremendous word of mouth I am expecting, it might fly by Fable2s sales in 2009.

From a scores perspective the games should be in a ~5% range of each other .. well, if both games show they are as good as the hype wants them to be that is.

 

I totally agree with this.  Fable 2 will outsell LBP out of the gate, but then it all depends on legs - which will depend on reviews and word-of-mouth.  There's no doubt Fable 2 will sell better at first, with the hype and it being a sequel versus new IP, plus with the install advantage.  There's a lot of preorders for it, judging from the number of people playing the Pub Games. 

I will be buying one of each, so my votes will cancel each other out  :)



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

LBP will take 40GB space, so hat means there won`t be online version? =)

Fable is well known tittle, but LBP inovation.

October 21 only launch in NA. =) In NA x360 sold more then ps3 for now.
LBP will have better legs.

So far, LBP will sell better. =) LBP is NEXT mario. :)

 

 Um, what? Are you kidding me lol.. The game isn't going to take 40GB, jesus christ.. And yes there will be an online version.. I don't know where the hell you came up with that one..

The game is 40 GB according to the developers.  It's a little misleading though because most of that are tutorials.  And from the sound of it, they are video tutorials, not in-game tutorials.  Add to that all the language tracks (uncompressed?) and you can get a large game very easily.

I'm a little worried about LBP sales.  I'm not sure how well gamers will take to it.  I know I'm in for one on launch day, but I don't even know if any of my friends with PS3s even know about the game.

Little Big Planet will be the best new platformer due to its innovation and level editor making unlimited possibilities for the gamer. It will attract both hardcore and casual gamers alike.

The co-op mode in Fable 2 will be terrible. I doubt Fable 2 will be as good as Fable 1.

 

Do you really believe this stuff, or did you copy and paste it from the SDF?

LBP will get a higher review score, the rest is up in the air. I, personally, wouldn't buy LBP because of the genre, which is MMOP.

I've pre-ordered Fable 2 though, simply because I own a 360 and liked Fable.
