Yo.

 

Well I retract my statement. I can't read today (just got up) so I'll say Fallout 3 will be the best selling single console  (exclsuve or non) selling RPG this gen. Obviously nothing can compete against Pokemon especially when it has multiple versions.



It's just that simple.

I know you were just being funny, but for the idiots out there I will edit the OP to specify consoles not handhelds.

 

Afraid to call a mod an idiot, ehh?

I wasn't trying to be funny, it's just true. You didn't mention or even hint to the fact that you were specifying consoles. Your thread title even says "this generation." From that, you could even be encouraging people to include the handhelds. And MonstaMack, even if you don't include Pokemon with multiple versions, Pokemon Platinum has already outsold Fable II with only Japanese sales.

Anyways, I'll just leave this thread. Maybe start my own about which will be the highest selling gold-trimmed toaster on the 16th of August. Could have some interesting results

What RPG involving Mario or Zelda?

Versus won't pass Fable 2 (if ever) until at least 2010.

And as yet there is serious questions as to whether the Wii can shift a big third party hardcore title like MH3 in huge numbers.

Dragon Quest X



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

So if we exclude handhelds, PC and games that are yet to release Fable 2 has a shot at becoming the best sold RPG this gen? Is that what you're saying?

Monster Hunter 3
Final Fantasy XIII
Dragon Quest X

At the very least will pass it.



TheTruthHurts! on 07 January 2009

Nice.....Fable 2 deserves the sales it is receiving.....I love the game!



--OkeyDokey-- on 07 January 2009

Why are people still saying Monster Hunter is an RPG?

And besides, the series only sells in Japan. It's looking at 3 million max. No competition for the other big names here.

I said quite clearly that Fable 2 will be the best selling console RPG "for a while."

But there are questions about your listed games.  Certainly FFXIII will beat Fable 2 (on both consoles).  But that is possibly over a year away.

DQX will *probably* best Fable 2 but there is no demonstrated capability on the Wii's behalf to sell major third party RPG's.  Especially hardcore ones like this.

MH3, even if we accept that it is an RPG, faces exactly the same uncertainty.
