According to solid retailer reports on first day sales, we can now state that Fable 2 is having incredibly brisk sales, and is poised to be the fastest selling Western console RPG.

Retailer reports sales of over 350,000 units sold on Tuesday, October 21st in North America, and are stating that the game is selling far quicker than recent Xbox360 hits such as The Force Unleashed, Dead Space and Saints Row 2 . Sales seem at a fever pitch similar to that of Madden NFL 09 which sold over 700,000 units on its first week in North America.

It's also destined to become one of the most-played games online as well. Gamercard websites such as http://www.mygamercard.net and http://www.360voice.com have vouched for the brisk sales of Fable 2 - It is already the 3rd most played title on MyGamercard on the week, and 360voice reports that Fable 2 is being played by more users than Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 - Combined. All without European sales.

For our European friends, Fable 2 is set to launch tommorow, and will most likely see strong sales akin to Gears of War or Call of Duty 4. PAL sales are expected to exceed 300,000 units if not flirt with the 400,000 mark.

All of this points to a 1,000,000 first week for North America and PAL territories. Japan is scheduled to get the title on December 18th.

Fable 2 follows one of the best-selling Xbox titles of 2004. Although met with positive, but not perfect reviews (85.1% aggregate ranking on Gamerankings.com), it sold very well on the Xbox becoming the 4th best selling game on the system with over 2.6 million sales, and the best selling Western console RPG of it's time, beating out Knights of the Old Republic by strong margins. It was also the best selling Xbox title in 2005 in Japan - at a time when the Xbox had become virtually irrelevant.

So where will Fable 2 end up at in terms of the overall "big" picture of massive first weeks?



Title Japan North America PAL Total
Halo 3 62,415 2,844,837 908,192 3,815,444
Grand Theft Auto IV 0 2,317,774 1,020,855 3,338,629
Call of Duty 4 27,648 761,489 301,864 1,091,001
Gears of War 34,231 606,759 269,410 910,400
Assassin's Creed
36,812 569,407 215,197 821,416

As you can see, Fable 2 is likely going to be between Gears of War and Call of Duty 4. However, it does stand the chance of beating Call of Duty 4's massive first week cume. For reference, the top-4 titles have each sold ove 5 million copies to date. If Fable 2 were to follow those footsteps, it would be in hallowed territory, and shatter many records for Western console RPGs.

More data to follow in the coming days and week, as we approach the European launch of Fable 2.

销售情况超过了星战,和Madden09相似,预计北美首周70w,同样在欧洲也前景很好,30w不难达到
总共加上日本,全球首周100w销量应该是差不离的
和之前的作品比较,估计在COD4的109w和GEOW的91w之间

另,在amazon jp的销售预定情况上来看,神鬼寓言2和白骑士咬的死死的,相互交替领先
略微落后于最后神迹

彼得这次吹得不算过，终于名利双收了？:呆猴:

既然知道是渣站还去转

仅供娱乐~:猴子坏笑:

其实二代就是当年狮子头牌大卫星的超级豪华补丁:企鹅抽筋蹬腿:

一代比预期中差了这么多，老头这么要面子的家伙还出来在官方BBS发帖认错，表示 over-promise 云云……销量xb+pc照样轻松破200w，还不算后来追加的TLC版

渣作2代首周100w没难度啊

:悠嘻猴放炮: :悠嘻猴放炮: :悠嘻猴放炮:

肥波2能否卖过小小大? 这是一个问题

这是一个问题。

繼選擇性失明后，又多一個新短語
選擇性相信 :悠嘻猴放炮:

不过销量不错

没关系啊，学SONY玩买一送一凑数不就几百万出来了:企鹅捶地:

美国英雄联盟就是送出来的。

这里有多少人提过这游戏？
天天拿出来说事累不累？




fable2首周能到100w?....
反正有我得那1分:企鹅弹吉他:

呵呵，吹吧，10月的冠军是小小大星球的
