[Eiffel]

Good goly jee Batman.

That's a lot of sales.

[Gamertags]

you will only see on the 360. While I wouldn't want to play the entire game with Natal I would be interested in certain aspects.

[La Chance]

Its great to see that MSFT don't have to bundle their AAA games for them to sell.

I mean its pretty sad when you don't have enough faith in your own AAA games or your user base that you have to bundle them all just to be sure to crack a million within 12 months.

[dazzalfc]

Whist i agree with some of what your saying, i think you are suffering from short term memory loss, along with not really paying attention to what console bundles are out there.

For instance, wasn't it Microsoft who not only bundled Halo 3 with consoles when it first came out, but also brought out a special Halo 3 edition 360 console in order to boost popularity and sales?

Also, wasn't it Microsoft who bundled Halo 3 and Fable 2 (the game in question here) with the Xbox360 Elite? Or how about the World Cup bundle they did back in 2006? Oh, how about the Limited Edition Resident Evil 360 console and game bundle? OR the Gears of War bundle that launched with the game? And if memory serves me right, Microsoft have packaged other games with the Arcade, Premium and Elite models, such as Sega Superstars Tennis, Pro Evolution Soccer 6, Project Gotham 3, Lego Indiana Jones and Kung-Fu Panda and several other titles.

And thats not including the bundles that stores like Game, Gamestation, Gamestop or wherever put together themselves whilst they compete for our money.

Face facts, they all do it, and have been doing it for years, whether it be the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Gamecube, Master System or whatever. Anyone who disagrees or cannot prove otherwise simply needs to get out more and develop common sense.

Not that it matters anyway, i definitely didnt buy Fable 2 because it sold nearly 3million, or because it has Microsoft written on the box. I bought it because it was a good game that i wanted to play. Unlike most, i don't sit there playing a game thinking "im glad i bought this game because it sold loads"...i sit and think "im glad i bought this game because its a bloody good game"

Good news for Lionhead, its a really good game, probably my favorite 360 exclusive. The only thing I didnt like was the ending and that it gets too easy once you level up, other than that I encourage everybody to pick this up.

[Coconutz919]

Hey, you're free to say what you want, but that's just a flat out lie.

http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-...

I personally think bundles are great on any platform, though. More people get to play more games and for much cheaper, too. Everybody wins. By the way... what's the point of this article? Do we need to individually report on every game's sales? :(

[La Chance]

Euh maybe I wasnt clear enough, I meant that MSFT dont heavily bundle their exclusives at launch like Sony do.

Did you see MSFT bundle Gears, Halo, Fable, Mass effect like Sony did with MGS4, LPB, KZ2 ? And even when bundles they still dont sell as much as Sony expected (except for MGS4)

Of course they do after a year or a couple of months and ONLY on some models like only the Elite or only the Arcade unlike Sony who bundle AT LAUNCH their biggest exclusives.

MSFT have special models at launch some times like for Halo 3 but its a limited edition thus only a handful of people actually get their hands on it unlike Sony once again who bundle all their AAA's for the game to have "decent" sales.

[Horny]

MS had Halo 3, Fable 2, Forza 2/Marvel, GTA 4 and Resident Evil 5 bundles, to me they are pretty big games.
So what if Sony bundles games, if people are not interested in the game they are just going to buy the console by itself, at least Sony has options. They bundle games at launch becasue if people decide to get the game and a ps3 they save a few Dollars.
When you buy a 360 you always get a game with it, I dont know about the arcade.

[Coconutz919]

Maybe I wasn't clear enough either...

Are you implying that offering bundles is bad? Really? Sony or Microsoft don't make any more money off a bundle, in fact they most likely make less. I don't understand your point.

"MSFT dont heavily bundle their exclusives at launch like Sony do."

... And? First of all, Metal Gear Solid 4 has been the only game that was bundled during its launch. All those Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, and Motorstorm bundles came months after the game was first released.
Second, once again, how is offering a great game with a console for less money a bad thing? Both the Fable2/Halo3, MGS4/K2, and Wii Sports bundles are great for consumers.

Does that make the console manufacturers seem desperate? Was Nintendo desperate when they bundled Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt with an NES? Or Super Mario World with an SNES? Or Microsoft with the Kung Fu Panda/Lego Indiana Jones (obviously not AAA, but what's five year old Billy gonna do with Fable 2?) arcade bundle? I guess I don't get it.

[Double Toasted]

...La Chance meant to say was, when MS does it, it actually works.

[HelghastKid]

Damn dude face it you got owned....

[cereal_killa]

La Chance spin it all you want you got owned

Gears of war Bundle

Halo 3 bundle

Halo 3 and Fable Bundle

http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-...

[Odion]

Daz your right on most stuff wrong on others. When Halo 3 released you could get a Halo edition console, but said console did not come with the game, nor were there any official bundles that upon its release that had the game plus the consoles.

[thebudgetgamer]

because the idea of buying a console and getting a game thrown in and sometimes a voucher for a downloadable game makes me so angry i want to punch a kitten.

:)

[slpknt6sic6]

"I meant that MSFT dont heavily bundle their exclusives at launch like Sony do." you say this but you need to remember that Microsoft doesn't have exclusives. lol j/k j/k. also the tittle reads"Fable 2 sales approaching 3 millions" meaning the bundle has helped it reach 3 million or as you say "decent" sales.

[sparta76]

Let me see if I got this right!!?!
If a xbox game takes 8-9 months to sell 3 million is good!
But when a PS3 games sales 2 million in two months it FAILS!????
I don't understand u 360 fanboys logic.
Bunch of tards!
And @ once upon a fable you the biggest tard of all

[jeseth]

French for : Blind Xbox Fanboy that will spin anything pro 360 and make anti PS3 statements out of nowhere, especially when off topic. Synonyms for La Chance : Pathetic, Biased, Ignorant.

Example : See post 1.4.

[N4Flamers]

Unfortunately I thought that the game could have been better. The choices were better when you were a kid and I thought that as the game progressed I would get those not so clear choices, but alas no. After childhood everything was black and white except for the shadow court quest.

I do like this game and have bought all the DLC for it. I just wish it had better graphics and more variety in weapons and clothing.

Oh yeah LA Chance got owned. The only thing bad about bundles is that they piss you off when you all ready bought the system earlier.

[ps3d0]

dazzalfc Well you wrong about a couple of things. Halo 3 was not bundle when it came out MS knew it sell like crazy and that people buy a lot of system just to play the game. No way was MS going to give a single copy of that game away for free. There was a limited edition halo 3 console and I lot of people complained that the game wasnt bundled with it. The RE5 and Gears bundle wasnt in american I think it was only in aussie (or someplace)

The Halo3/Fable2 bundle didnt come up till both games been out a good long time.

[Jaces]

Actually they did bundle this, with Halo 3.

http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-...

[Willio]

"Euh maybe I wasnt clear enough, I meant that MSFT dont heavily bundle their exclusives at launch like Sony do."

If thats the case, why not just say that in the first place and not beat around the bush lol.

[el zorro]

Good job. Fable 2 is one of my favorite western RPGs this gen. Mass Effect is one of the others I loved. The 360 is a fantastic RPG console.

[GIJeff]

My 360 came with Halo3 and Fable 2 in one game case(like a double disk two sided wierd case). So, yeah...not sure what the hell you are talking about.

[jetlian]

la chance is right not a single ps3 exclusive has passed 3 million on its own. halo passed 3 million on day 1 gears 1-2 both passed 3 million but were bundled at some point

motorstorm 1 was like 3.5 but was bundled then 2 was 600,000 unbundled. resistance was 3 million but 2 was like 1.5. Even mgs4 had its own system. uncharted is at 2.5, infamous is at atleast 600k. kz2 is unde 2 million

the halo 360 did not come with the game

[immortal84]

But I hope they will improve some aspects of the game in the sequel

[KingKionic]

Peter molylneux said it might not stay rpg.

Wonder what that means ....

[immortal84]

May be he will use Natal to give the game some new refreshing gameplay elements.

[KingKionic]

Yeah...that might happen.

But i was thinking he`s talking about adding a genre to fable .

Could be a shooter....

[gamingisnotacrime]

Based on my gametime I would not buy it. For me is like a semi RPG (full RPGs being Mass Effect, FF series, Lost Odyssey...)
Good game, but needs some serious improvements to achive its full potential

[PrimordialSoupBase]

LOL "3 millions".

[sGIBMBR]

hopefully MMO ;)

[N4PS3G]

I don't doubt Fable 2 sales are great..but using vgchartz to report something as a fact instead of an estimate is wrong.

[immortal84]

Fable 2 sales 2.95m according to Vgchartz.com and its a reliable website when it's comes to games and consoles sales, it's need 50k to reach 3 millions, this article isn't estimating it's telling us a fact.

[Pekka]

immortal84: VgChartz are still rough estimates and are sometimes off a lot. Japanese sales are almost directly copied from Famitsu and MC so those are quite accurate but other charts are very inaccurate. Their estimates have been many times off 20-30% or even more. Even 50% difference isn't rare.

[immortal84]

Vgchartz is a very reliable website when it's come to sales, but sometimes they downscale or upscale sales for a game in unusual way.

If you have a better source please share it with us?

360 exclusives sure love to sell like hotcakes, this game hasnt even been out for a year yet

[beavis4play]

i don't think "banjo kazooie:nuts and bolts" has hit even the million mark yet.

edit: 2 disagrees? it's barely cracked 500,000 in sales. then there's "too human". it hasn't done very well either. oh, how about "the witcher"? just because a game is exclusive to the 360 (or any console)doesn't guarantee great sales.
and for any of the fanboyish boobs who want to disagree....these are just facts. it has nothing to do with a stupid, fanboy "which console is better" war. all of that is crap. but, it just isn't true that all 360 exclusives "sell like hotcakes".

[Once Upon a Fable]

Yea but Banjo wasn't hyped even one little ounce(it was actually questioned more than hyped...but was still a good AA game), what about Killzone 2(has it even passed 2 million)? It was hyped to high heavens by PS3 supporters and even the media, what about Infamous? How long until it sells even a million? Resistance 2? MotorStorm 2? Did these games even sale 2 million?

I've got a feeling Killzone won't even sell as much as Fable 2 which is a RPG...and it is in the most popular genre out there. I think one console was bought by movie enthusiasts as much as gamers.

[cyberwaffles]

i think killzone 2 already passed 2 million sales. still pretty good that fable 2 is closing in on 3 million, but i think killzone 2 will reach it at a faster rate from what they've sold so far.

[KingKionic]

Um...once upon a fable....

Motor storm sold over 3 mill....

[x-bob]

developers/publisher

i dont get why you people fight over who sold more.

you still payed 60$ and YOUR THE ONE THAT HAS it and that what counts for most of the people(i hope). is that they have the game not how many people have it.

its sad to see what happening this gen

[XboxUltimateAlliance]

I don't get it, are you actually trying to come in here and play sales? Reality check: you own the PS3. Coming and naming 2 weak 360 Exclusives whon't change the fact that all 360's big games have garnered really good sales while titles like Killzone 2, Resistance 2 and LBP don't even break 2 million in sales.(I think LBP barely did)

Cyber Waffles: Got a link proving Killzone 2 sold 2 million? :)

[beavis4play]

ps3 games has nothing to do with that statement.i'm not getting into a fight on other subjects here. i just responded to the post at #4. he said quote: "360 exclusives sure love to sell like hotcakes" end quote. this just isn't always true. nor is it true for the ps3 any other system ever made.
fable 2 has sold well.....and it should have since it appears to be a quality experience.

edit: AT 4.6 : AGAIN, WHERE DID I OR OMEGA 4 MENTION PS3 SALES? READ THE POST AT #4 BEFORE RESPONDING!

[Once Upon a Fable]

It was also bundled a ton as was Resistance 1. When you look at Motorstorm 2 and Resistance 2's sales that weren't bundled, it looks different though.

[The Master Chief]

Beavis Omega 4 didn't mention PS3 sales, you said a dumb comment and someone else mentioned PS3 sales. It's not that hard to understand. You just got owned, walk away gracefully. Everyone knows your a PS3 fanboy, stay in PS3 threads if its going to bother you for someone to say 360 Exclusive sell well, which they do. Unlike the competition.

[beavis4play]

first, i didn't bring up ps3 sales or mention ps3 games. second, i also commented that fable 2 is a good game and deserved to sell well. how is that being fanboyish?
lastly.......i commented on omega 4 comment that "360 exclusives sell like hotcakes"........that's all i did. does commenting on something that i didn't think was entirely accurate make me a fanboy? i don't think it does. actually, you sound more like a fanboy with your baseless post directed at me that contains no truth to it at all. and when you say "it's not hard to understand"....i don't think you have any clue as to what you mean when you say that. if you do, please elaborate.

re-read my posts at 4.1 and 4.7 and tell me where i bring the ps3 sales comparison or ps3 games into the picture?

it's ok to disagree.....just do it for things i acutally posted - not made up stuff.

[The Master Chief]

Beavis you're the only one confused here PS3 fanboy.

Omega said "360 exclusives sure love to sell like hotcakes"

NOT "ALL 360 exclusives sure love to sell like hotcakes"

And your reply "bu bu bu Omega not all 360 Exclusives sell good!"

lol like a typical PS3 fanboy with a chip on his shoulder because PS3 just isn't popular and 360 has the best selling games.

And then someone came behind you and said "why would you be bringing up that not every game sells well and naming 2 more unpopular games...he didn't say OMG EVERY SINGLE 360 GAME SELLS AMAZING...but this has nothing to do with Omega's post, you're just jealous and trying to bring down what he said because it bothers you. And it was true, 360 Exclusives sell like Hot cakes.

That = you got owned. Stay in the PS3 setion troll.

[beavis4play]

and he didn't say MOST "360 exclusives sell like hotcakes" did he?

no, he said "360 exclusives sure love to sell like hotcakes". that staement is automatically all-inclusive by the way he wrote it. he didn't add anything else to it; so, when he says 360 exclusives, he's talking about ANY game exclusive to the 360.

you really need to work on your reading comprehension "master chief".

edit: at 4.13....there's no need. i'm not the one who can't read correctly.

[XboxUltimateAlliance]

:S XD

[Marojado]

He didn't actually mention PS3 sales, and also went on to say

"just because a game is exclusive to the 360 (or any console)doesn't guarantee great sales"

And Once upon a Fable, you mentioned Killzone's sales. Around 2 million when it came out a quarter of a year after Fable isn't too bad, considering Fable has sold pretty damn well. Both games are selling well, there's no legitimate reason for people to argue over figures.

[Omega4]

lol

Damn I didnt think the comment I made would cause so much trouble, its not like I wrote it in a PS3 article. And obviously im not referring to ALL 360 exclusives, but to try and counter by mentioning PS3 software sales is just embarrassing, seriously.

[beavis4play]

nor did i think my comment was that offensive. i guess it was to some.
what seems to be the point of question is were you referring to "all" or "most". i'd agree that most sell very well. when i read the comment it just said "360 exclusives". that read to me as you meant any game that is exclusive to the console..... and i made a comment. it was not meant in any fanboyish way. i don't think all ps3 exclusives sell well and,in fact, (ps3 exclusives) don't sell as well as 360 exclusives. this doesn't mean that the people who buy the games can't enjoy them.
wow, some people are really blind fanboys to not be able to discuss this rationally.

[JokesOnYou]

Not that it matters but I was trying to follow your logic. From a technical standpoint all he did was make a generalization about 360 exclusives which based on evidence is true. If you assumed that he was saying ALL 360 exclusives sell well then you were NOT using the most basic common sense we use everyday in life. I'm sure you have been involved in many general conversations where people express an idea/point by making a generalization without using more specific terms like "MOST", "SOME", "A LOT" etc. For example if its not uncommon for people to say: "PS3 is reliable"...Does that mean none break?, of course not but in any general conversation the implied meaning is well understood by everyone that the point is in that aspect it has done well compared to its competition and past consoles. So either you lack the most basic common sense of a 5 yr old or you were simply upset about Omega pointing out that 360 exclusives sell well, which by comparison implies they sell better than another particular brand and this upsets you and caused you to try to downplay his statement with very, very poor logic.

JOY

[iChaos Amongus]

Looks like someone tried subtle, stealth trolling and got owned hard.

Classic N4G material right here.

[ActionBastard]

360 exclusives sure do like to appear on the PS3. Oh wait! This IS an actual 360 exclusive. Carry on.

[Arnon]

God I absolutely love Nuts & Bolts. Great game. It's production value is AAA. I want everyone to play that game on an HDTV. By far, one of the nicest looking games I've played. (And yeah, that shocks me too to say that)

[Tru_Ray]

When was the last time that a AAA game came out for the XBOX 360? Has it really been as long as fall 2008?

Bu..bu..bu, teh exclusives from LAST YEAR still SELL MILLIONS!!!

w00000000000000000000000t!!!!

Sorry Omega, but the sales of Fable 2 won't add inches to your e-peen.

[cyberwaffles]

i can't find the link where i saw it saying it estimated about 2 million by now, but according to these links, killzone 2 passed 1 million during april of this year.

http://news.vgchartz.com/ne...
http://digg.com/playstation...
http://www.gamespot.com/new...

it was about 1.2 million or so around april 18th and now its august so it's a little less than 4 months ago since it reached 1.2 million and it took about the same amount of time for killzone 2 to reach it's first 1 million in sales as it did for the past 4 months. sorry i can't find a link, i keep googling killzone 2 sales but i never find what i want. i know now that i'm estimating it reaching 2 million, but if you factor in how long the average amount of time it took to reach 1 million to begin with, discount sales, word of mouth popularity, and the new MGS4/killzone 2 bundle that will be releasing/released, it should be around 2 million very soon. sorry if i made it seem like fact that it was 2 million, but i was pretty positive it reached it already.

[Poopface the 2nd]

I do think your a fanboy if you go off on some rant because you think someone said "all 360 exclusives sell like hotcakes." If you read his comment its clear that he didnt say, or in any way imply, that "all" 360 exclusives sell great.

Of course I dont know if you really are stupid or not. Arguing over something that someone clearly didnt say and continuing arguing with dumb people on N4G sure doesnt make you look smart tho.

LOL I blame you for this Beavis^^^^^^^^ Look what you started. LOL JK.

I understand you may not be a PS fanboy, just like Im not a 360 fanboy. We will be labeled as such simply because we have a preference.

[Once Upon a Fable]

Sweet! Fable 3 FTW!

[DelbertGrady]

Numbers numbers numbers.

What about quality? That's something you can't measure in numbers and all PS3 games have much higher quality than 3fixme games. It's been proven time and time again.

[x-bob]

that "xbot" start stuff on their own articals.

and "droids" do that too?

[Mo0eY]

Poor bots. They have to refer to a game that was released last year as they have no AAA games this year.

:(

[x-bob]

oh well, were all gamers.

some of us have more fun then other because of the system we chose.

if you own all 3. your getting every peace of the pie.

[Mo0eY]

Unfortunately, Bob, some of the people with all three consoles won't be having a slice of the pie because their Xbox 360s RRoD on them.

:(

[The Master Chief]

lol is Soda Popinsky taking tips from DelusionalSonyDroid? Nice avatar too. ;)

[La Chance]

thats some really weak trolling.

I know the open zone is made just for that but you need to step your game up man.

[danthaman15]

I think you need to learn some new trolling. RROD only affects 16% of consoles now ( http://www.shacknews.com/on... , and we get free repairs, plus you can just rent an Xbox while its being repaired for a week. Also, 50$ for online? Psh, I'll just ask for it every christmas, problem solved. I just eliminated your only two arguments. Good luck coming up with some new ones, since those are thw only ones I've seen you use.

Let it be known that no other console through its live cycles has ever gotten more flops than the PS3 facts, look it up at the journal of world records.

[x-bob]

Read the latest game informer

they have a topic about the RROD.

[el zorro]

Almost 3 million sold? That's really good for a western RPG. The 360 has a nice diversity of different genres on tap.

[1ikedamaster]

Is this the real Soda Pop? Sure doesn't sound like it.

If yes, give me a signal...adjust your shorts.

[DelbertGrady]

Who needs fables anyways? I never liked fables as a child. Chronicles were much better.

Chronicles > fables

We have White Knight Chronicles.

[Captain Tuttle]

But i gotta say, that last DLC (See the Future) was the biggest rip off in gaming this year.

[Eiffel]

Well..it was cheaper than Knothole Island which I'll admit I bought. But got like maybe an hour out of it. Really only DLC I've bought that puts forth my moneys worth is Fallout 3 DLC. Maxing and getting everything is a good hourly consuming task.

[creeping judas]

worse then horse armor??

[Natsu X FairyTail]

I need this game.

[II Necroplasm II]

Me too. I haven't got around to picking it up yet, will do this weekend though.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

No matter how average a Microsoft game is, it will sell solely on brand alone. With truly spectacular games that actually bring something new to the table get left in the dust.

[KingKionic]

Brand loyalty....

hmm...i thought Sony had bigger brand loyalty .

Cant be just the brand .

People must enjoy the game .

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

I'm talking about quality, XPlay gave this game, game of the year with many other critics saying that same, when the quality is merely average. Compare this game to Fallout 3, Mass Effect (PC), or even soon comings like Final Fantasy XIII have actually done/doing something different from its predecessors.

[Mr_Controversy]

1. Fallout 3 doesn't do anything different. It's Oblivion with guns although a great game.

2. Mass Effect is just like Kotor which are both great games.

3. FFXIII is the same like all the other Final Fantasy's which are all great games.

4. Fable II isn't an average game, just because the game isn't as uselessly big like Fallout 3, as story-driven as Mass Effect, or as graphically great like FFXIII, it's still one of a VERY FEW RPG's out there that have Co-Op and one of the very few, where the world actually feels alive. Fable II owns.

[Nexy]

Fable 2 is an excellent, top quality game so your reasoning fails miserably.

I'm glad this superb game sold very well. Not sure about Fallout 3 numbers bout hopefully it sold very well too. I spent so much time on both these games with all the DLC for them. Both give so much fun.

It's a little worrying though Peter is hinting at Fable 3 not being an RPG. We'll see.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

Are you saying the jump from Fable one is significant in Fable two, and quality includes all those elements that you have meantioned, lol.

[gamingisnotacrime]

Better graphics.... the rest is the same. I finished Fable 1 back in the day. Rented Fable 2 and besides the visuals there was not significant improvement. Easy game to beat, story is ok. Fable 1 with better graphics

[Mr_Controversy]

LOL, WTF you talking about quality for? You don't even know your RPG's let alone your ABC's.

[Mr_Controversy]

Superficial is Gran Turismo 4 to Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Forza 1 to Forza 2 wasn't a "superficial" jump. Look at the reviews, it improves upon its predecessor unlike Gran Turismo.

Fable 2 won countless game of the year awards and for SIGNIFICANT reasons.

[gamingisnotacrime]

Keep your reviews

I played both Forza 1 and Fable in the black xbox, and at the time loved both.

My 360 was bundled with Forza 2, and i also played it. I can make my own comparisons based on my experience and not on someone else. Keep reading your reviews, I will keep playing the games.

GT 4 is GT 3 with more cars and tracks (and 1080i output)

GT5 P is a big demo, better something that nothing. For you to say GT5 P is the finished product and contains all the improvements over GT4, well suit yourself. It just shows you prefer bashing than having friendly discussions. Your tagname suits you perfectly

[Nexy]

You see no difference between Fable 1 and Fable 2 other than graphics and at the same time you are the same guy who praises Fallout 3 and Mass Effect... :-) LOL!

Gameplaywise Fallout 3 while a very good game is still far behind the first Fallouts and ME is behind KoToR.

Just accept the fact Fable 2 is selling amazingly well because it is an amazing, top quality game form Microsoft Games Studios made by one of the best-known game developers.

[Poopface the 2nd]

No matter how stupid a comment is, Ps3 fanboys will say it over and over again.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

I'm so surprised that people think it's quality, first of all the animations don't look that great and the rest of the graphics, the character has no voice meaning no personality (Fallout 3 has the same thing), and most of all it feels like a last generation game.

I know my video games well enough to know this game is solely selling on brand alone, and not because of quality. Quality has nothing to do with how much fun an individual has, that's subjective. The only reason why everyone is on me is because they're projecting their characteristic traits onto me, when in reality you're just describing yourself.

The only real "top quality" video game I have played from Microsoft would be "Gears of War" I'm not sure about the second one, but the first one is the only I have experienced so far.

[kewlkat007]

image of any game fully realized...

The game was a little short and was too easy to Spam spells. I'm so used to playing JRPG's as well, so it's a little different when you can beat a WRPG so quick.

Anyhow Fable offered some deep elements but it always feels shortened.

[immortal84]

Yes, if you play the main story in Fable 2 alone you can finish it in under 10 hours, but if you take your time and do all the game side quests the game will consume more hours, as there are some interesting side quests in Fable 2.

But I hope they make the sequel longer.

[destrosio]

not a bad result for a great game. nice to see an old one appreciated also afterwards.
just like killz... ehrr... no.

[Spike47]

But hey, I don't find it surprising, these are the same people that think halo is the best game ever. lol

[roxkis]

Where is this PS3 bashing you speck of?
Are we reading the same comments?

[kewlkat007]

some of you are delusional, seriously. Sometimes I wonder why some click on certain articles for which they have nothing to do with.

Oh well it's N4g.

[Arnon]

Um.. there's absolutely no bashing going on. In fact, most 360 articles do not have bashing from the looks of it.

[STICKzophrenic]

I've logged a ton of hours on one save file. I completed the main story and all the side quests. I purchased every single piece of property in Albion. I played through Knothole Island and See The Future DLC.

I love the whole art style of the game. Some of the environments are truly breathtaking. There were many times where I would just stop and look at the sun pouring in through the trees and was just in awe.

Fable 2 was my '08 GOTY.

[NeloRisi]

I bought a 360 two weeks ago and I got the Fable 2 bundle - its a fun game but I still prefer the setting of the first fable game.
Anyway, I hope this spurs on Lionhead to release a Fable 3 much sooner.

[-Mezzo-]

It's a great game that deserved every sale it got but it was still over rated.

[BoneMagnus]

I bought it at launch, and quickly traded it in once I realized it wasn't open world like Oblivion. I got $39 when I traded it.

Then awhile ago, Best Buy had it for $29.99, and I'd been reading how everyone was enjoying it, so I decided to give it another go. Now I can't put it down. It's sucked me in, and it's the perfect game to play when I just want to relax - too tired to do well in COD, Halo 3 or KZ2.

I just get comfortable and enjoy the beauty of the world and continue to build my real-estate empire.

[REALgamer]

I found Fable 2 started off a bit too slowly for my tastes, but it was about when I got to Oakfield that it hooked me in.

Slow start, but the world really sucks you in once you've put a few hours in. The atmosphere and charm were superb, and to me are still the Fable series' strongest point. Some people don't like Fable because it's not as in-depth or stat heavy as other RPGs, or because of the short length of the main quest, but it can't be denies that world is brilliantly realised from the regional accents to Danny Elfman's music that gives it an almost surreal, 'larger than yourself' feel that there's always the bigger picture. Also the customization of your protagonist made me feel more connected to the character I'm playing than any other game (though KOTOR was close), even from superficial things like dying the clothes and performing gestures.

I really enjoyed it and played through a few times (as well as the DLC). Looking forward to Fable 3 in probably about 3-4 years.

[callahan09]

Fable 2 was a really fun and addictive game. Except for the stupid mini-games like pouring beer and chopping wood and hammering swords. Those were kind of tedious. But once I became a real estate magnate, the money just poured in and I didn't have to do those odd jobs anymore!

[air1]

haahaaa!!!!!

kz2 just needs 1 million more to get to 2 million. maybe the should relaunch it who knows mybe another million will pre order

poor sony, i wonder if they know what its fan base thinks of the sales.. i wonder if they know that the ps3 fans just dont care if it goes the way of the sega..

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

you know what's funny air1 when a PS3 game takes months to reach 2 3 million you guys call it flops yet when it's your games i don't see anyone bot going it's a flop yeah think about how pathetic you ppl are needing sales to make enjoying games and if high profile games don't do 2 3 million in 3 months you call it flops really pathetic and what makes it even more pathetic is your teens with nothing to gain if a games sell 100,000 or 1 million your all pathetic hypocrites

[air1]

zombien, you can stop following me around now i owned you too many times. you have no continues left..

hey dont get mad at me cause these super high profile ps3 games dont sell. its not my fault that you guys hype up these games to high heaven but then not buy them.

fps is like the most played genre, when a game like kz2 can barely out sell a game like halo wars and a rpg like fable 2, it says a lot. and its not good either..

and what are you talking about? kz2 hasnt reached 3 million, hell it didnt even reach 2. lmfao so what was your point? that ps3 games have long legs? like r2, lbp? lol..

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

funny you mentioned LBP because last i check it sold almost as much as L4D, LBP 2.29 million while L4D is 2.32 million also i gues the following are flops as well Mass Effect 2 million , Saints Row 1 not even 1 million Condemned 1 not even 1 million Bioshock on 360 2.24 million Halo Wars 1.37 million because obviously if neither of those critically acclaimed Xbox 360 exclusives and timed exclusives could not even reach LBP numbers i gues there flops by the fanboy logic because as we all know LBP is a flop you know what L4D is a flop too because it only outsold it by 0.03 million so who owned who again oh yeah me . you see you guys talk all high and mighty about how we don't buy games yet it's the same with you Bioshock was and is an amazing game and it didn't do Halo or Gears numbers or Mass Effect also an amazing game and only sold 2 million yet LBP outsold it in less time with a smaller user base compared to 360 , what i'm trying to get thru your fanboy skull is sales doesn't make the game better . owned

[stonecold3]

will say hi xbot and speaking of sega who is the new sega rush product to the market and stop supporting xbox1 after 3 years on the market and faulty hardware running last gen dvds and cant even handle what the ps3 aaa games have and not only that sega were always ahead by rushing there console first to the market qnd thats what m$ does

[air1]

i thought you sony fanatics didnt like to talk about last gen? do you remember dre? what did sony do? what was that? charge you to fix it you say? kinda like ylod...

360 cant handle ps3 AAA games? say wha? sony fanatics cant handle ps3 AAA games, thats why they dont sell...

i think you are a new gamer, last gen xbox was the last console out. micro only put out 2 consoles, the 360 came out first this gen. care to tell me how micro rushes its consoles "every time"

was you just as vocal last gen kid? when you got like 3 dre's and payed for every fix? did you hesitate to buy a ps3 at launch? huh you hypocrite?

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

a hypocrite calling someone a hypocrite it sounds like a bad joke sadly it's not

[roxkis]

but I wished they made later in the game harder.
Its like once you max a spell or two you become too godly.
Fun for raiding villages, not so much for story missions..

[PS360PCROCKS]

That's very good.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

"...approaching 3 millions"???

What the frick?

Is everyone retarded on this site?

[No_NaMe]

Amazing Game , Amazing SALES!

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Amazing?

That's taking it a little too far.

Bioshock - Amazing
Oblivion - Amazing
Shadow of the Colossus - Amazing

Fable II - Playable...

[xcox]

the only platform where overhyped POS like f@ckable2 sell 3M and boring old douches like mollyneux can make a living

it's a great retirement platform: lmao

[skeletonss]

call themselves gamers? You do relize your getting upset at a machine correct?

[Tr10wn]

Hes not a gamer hes a Fanboy

[xcox]

i'm not upset, i'm laughing my ass off at an old hasbeen, his boooooooooooring games and the 3M morons who still buy the hype

BWAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA!

you xb!tches are a marketing wet dream

[Saaking]

Wasn't Fable II bundle with the xbox 360 for some time?
http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-...
Anyways, great game, I never played Fable I but wow, this game isn't as bad as some people claim. Great job Lionhead.

[rjackson1]

Today i am bot because Fable 2 sale numbers matter to me.Tomorrow i will be a droid because i will buy gow 3 in 2010. You people/Delusional Sony Droids on N4G need to grow the fu*k up and get a life. Sales dont matter to sonyfansboys i bet do matter to sony inc.

[Arnon]

When you hit adulthood and saw the view when on the bridge. The game is literally a painting that came to life.

Also, Oakfield was another beautiful landscape.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Fable II is a great game and it deserves these amazingly robust sales.

Normally I hate sales topic discussion but here is one game that actually deserves monster sales.

[XDF]

This game outsold all PS3 heavy hyped exclusives thus far in LPB, resistance 2, and the recent KZ2.

No doubt a Fable 3 is coming with Natal support. Can't wait.

[QuantumWake]

Fable 2 deserves it. It was a very fun and addicting game. The selection of powers and love interests are amazing. It was well worth it! :D

[Peter Molyneux]

Well Im not impressed with this estimate, if 25.59 million 360's sold well that means 25.59 million copies of Fable 2 should have been bought but the childish immature audience the 360 attracts cant play complicated complex games they'd prefer to play brain dead Halo or Gears...... unsophisticated buffoons

[Peter Molyneux]

I dont normally comment in the open zone with the common riff Raff but I'm not impressed with this estimate, if 25.59 million 360's sold well that means 25.59 million copies of Fable 2 should have been bought but the childish immature audience the 360 attracts cant play complicated complex games they'd prefer to play brain dead Halo or Gears...... unsophisticated buffoons

[RockmanII7]

What would you rather them play?

[Peter Molyneux]

Fable 2

[Nikuma]

Probably gonna get bubble raped, but I felt that fable and fable 2 were overall very average games. The amount of hype and features they said were going to be in the game that either didn't make it in, or were half assed probably didn't help my impressions on it. The coolest part of the game was customizing your character to how you played. Everything else in the game fell short IMO, especially the combat and story.

[jeseth]

Fable 2 was the sole reason I bought a 20gb 360. My room mate had a Xbox back in the day and Fable and Knights were my two favorite Xbox games followed by Marrowind.

I was a bit underwhelmed by Fable 2. Maybe I overhyped myself. I though the graphics and voice acting were . . . .ok. The story was compelling but I felt the overall pace of the game was rather slow. Too much loading and repetitive functions (which can be said of many games).

I had the same feeling about Resistance 2. So much hype and love for the 1st Resistance mad me feel underwhelmed. Will probly get disagrees but oh well.

[shutupandplay]

Spin it baby! Spin!

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

1 it's not 3 million yet and 2 who gives a sh!t how much it sold you don't get any money from it but i will say good for Lionhead haven't played Fable 2 but it looks great

[g0green]

holy sh*t all your peoples b*tching is driving me freakin crazy will everyone shut up about freakin fanboy sh*t. if you all you coksuckrs put as much effort into improving the world as you did towards defending something as retarded as a videogame console the world would be great.. i like the 360 more but i keep that to myself, sony/msft dont pay you to defend them so why freakin do it? quit the freakin fan boy arguements

AHH

[Rumor]

now use the money to make Milo something SPECTACULAR!

[stonecold3]

i checked wilkpedia and motostorm is well over 330 million copies sold could be more than thats as it didnt mentioned o9

[GIJeff]

every ps3 owner baught the game like 20 times?

[kraze07]

Man the fanboyz need to take a bottle of chill pills seriously! All I got to say is congrats Fable 2 for selling 3 millions.

[maverick1191]

you have to watch air he still thinks halo 3 is the best game in the world because of its sales air just wont take it that graphics and gameplay make a game not sales

hes been sending me pm's persuading me halo is the god of all games because it sold 10 mill but yet wii sports has sold 50mill+ but it wont take the wii is a gaming console and rules it out lol

and 330 mill copies of motorstorm thats false as every owner like what GIJEFF said would have had to buy it twice and its from wikipedia anyone can edit pages

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

i think he forgot to put , between those numbers , Motor Storm sold 3,30 million also don't worry about air1 i just owned him with his own sales look at my reply to him the only 360 games 360 owners buy is Gears or Halo that's it just look at my reply to him copy paste it and send it to him to shut him up and also Halo 3 sold 9 million and just use GT tell him by his logic Forza is sh!t because GT sold more than any Forza game trust it will shut him up
