Sales aside, Fable is the best Action-RPG on X-Box.  It might not be saying much, but hey it\'s enjoyable, and that\'s all they intended when they made this game.  As long as a person enjoys a game, in this case masses of people, that\'s all that matters.

Isn\'t that generally why there\'s a nose-dive? :p

i dunno, there are exceptions...

GTA for example had multiple rises and falls.

I didn\'t miss any point chump.   mm was trying to attack the game by its sales..  My point is its goin down in sales most likely because everyone has bought it.. Which isn\'t a bad thing.


You get that point, or did u miss that?

I like how first mm predicted the game will flop and be a turd without anything to support his idea and now he\'s assuming a nose dive in sales.

you are priceless...no more than a troll, but priceless.

it has flopped, 5 years of hype for 240k in sales?  i could put a turd in a green box call it xbox exclusive and it would sell that little.

what was the last xbox title to sell a million in a week, btw?

this was supposed to be the be all-end all of RPG gaming dont forget

Now you\'ve resorted to lying?  

The sell through is reported to be 375,000 and it\'s the fastest selling game for the xbox.

I\'ve seen you use this before and it doesn\'t make any sense now either...it only shows that you are getting more desperate.    

I\'d like you to name several PS2 games that have sold one million in a week\'s time.  Besides Grand Theft Auto, which I\'m not even sure sold that much in a week,  I think you\'ll find it to be a very rare occasion if it has in fact happened.

Considering that the Xbox has a fraction of the userbase as the PS2 I\'d say 375,000 for one week\'s sales in the U.S. is pretty good.

And again, you\'re suggesting that the sales determine the quality of a game.  Let me remind you as someone else did earlier...Viewtiful Joe, Mark of Kri, etc.  Great games, not so stellar sales.

Don\'t forget about the hype?  What does the hype matter when a solid game was released anyway?  Don\'t bring up yet another point you can\'t substantiate.

Oh and speaking of nose dives, your credibility to this forum has crash landed.  There were no survivors, I\'m so sorry.
