Well, isn't it logical that a sequel to a successful, high-profile RPG would have higher pre-order sales than a brand new IP that nobody knows will be any good?

Wouldn't you expect FFXIII to have more pre-orders than say Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon?

I mean, this really shouldn't be that shocking.

So do I...

Except that this isn't a joke thread. Im just pointing out something which came to my attention which is vastly contradicting what I would expect. Had I written Fable 2 < LBP and reversed the numbers and then said BAH! Fooled you, it would have been a joke thread. Take into account what you said about my country which is worded much better than I could achieve and then consider whats actually happening.

Like what you said, its completely unexpected for this to happen in my country and this is a reasonable sample size as its the largest online store in the country for a game which is all about hype.

I hope this is a joke thread because if not... You are the biggest most desperate ($*%#$%^@ on this site. Please for your sake be joking.

Pfft, Fable 2 is a joke.

this will prove to be a joke next month when Littlebigplanet outsells Fable 2-1. Not the other way around. NO wait.. I take it back, not 2-1.  3-1!

That's trolling. Why is it a joke, and why do you feel the need to bash another game to inflate your own ego. You're obviously a huge Sony fan and have an inferiority complex about your console. You tend to lash out at those who threaten or try to destroy your favorite console. You try to hurt their feelings by degrading their games. If you feel the need to flame a game for no reason, then I feel the need to call you out on it. Explain yourself. Stop trolling, and stfu about games you have absolutely no interest in, know nothing about, and are own a competing console which is obviously something that causes you to hate them no matter how good or bad they are.

I can't make you stop trolling, but I can easily own any troll posts you make from here on out. Ask all the other trolls. Never ends well.

...also, don't feed me the BS line about you hating Fable 1 and it being a dissapointment. You've probably never played it, and even if you had, it's still a fanboy talking point, and I won't set here and be lectured to out of the Sony playbook. Have some originality for christ sake.

I'm sure that hatred for Fable 1 was what motivated your post and not hatred for 360 fanboys and their games threatening LBP.

This thread sucks. A lot.
