Forums - Microsoft - Fable 2 a hardware seller?

Do you think it can sell an additional 40k units.

I think it can because the fans from the first fable will want to get their hands on the second.

Who knows. Once Nov-Dec hit, you can't tell if any game makes any difference in hardware because sales go up so drastically it will always be impossible. September is going to be big from the price cut and sales will go down in October so you can't tell what Fable 2 helps with. That only times you've ever really been able to see it clearly is last September with Halo 3 and this year with Metal Gear Solid 4.

Well I for one am going to buy a 360 got Fable 2 and I hated Fable 1. F2 just seems amazing and it looks very nice, I really want to play it.

Of course not the ONLY reason. They have ToV and SoE3 that I really want to play as well.



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

Hmmm.. yes. It shapes up to be a good game and it has lots of hype+anticipation.



it will a hardware seller, not a major on though. Fable 2 is shaping up tp be a great game, fable 1 was great as well btw.

yes. 40k additional units shouldn't be a problem for Fable 2



Yes.

When a sequel of a fairly popular game comes out on a newer platform, the fans follow.

But that also depends on the amount of WRPG support on the system. With Mass Effect, Two Worlds, and Oblivion on the 360, I"m sure that many Fable lovers already purchased one. Who knows though :-/



Definatly, combined with the price cuts a lot of people will at least give it a second look.

no, i think it is a going to be a good game and it will sell well but I dont picture it a system seller but I see Gears 2 is being the system seller combine with the price cut



well it must be, ask starcraft.

i was saying to him that i almost fell for a 360 to get this game but i thought that this game would come to windows which prevented me. i still think it will come to windows to be honest.

i dont need to get a 360 now though because i got one for cheap of me bro, well me mum got it me, i didnt want it.
