Lionhead Is Expecting More Than “Five Million People Playing” Fable III

Fable is one of Xbox 360′s best selling titles. The game is well known and well respected as a global, high level franchise.

The first two titles sold millions, but none was able to cross the 5 million sold mark. Well with every new installment, the numbers have climbed, but this time, Lionhead boss, Peter Molyneux is expecting a leap.

Molyneux told MVC that he wants more than “five million people playing [Fable III]“. That’s no small number, sir.

“Part of the plan is less clutter in the game, less aggravating little inventions that Peter Molyneux once thought was a good idea. More clarity, better story, better cast, better balance,” he said.

Adding: “Of course, we have to do all this still with fresh ideas, and a new feel to the game.”

The PC version of the game has been delayed, but the Xbox 360′s own will be available on October 26th in the US and on the 29th in Europe.

Will you be one of the five million?

    5 mill?
    i think thats just a tad ambitious!
    id say more along the lines of 3M, and at least 40% of those will be pirates.
    lets not forget fable 2 was available on torrents a full 5 weeks before release!

    Wow, 40%? That’d be terrible for them. But the guy’s optimistic…. And you never know…

    fable 2 was the most pirated hame of the year since it released so early!
    starcraft 2 is the most pirated game for this generation!
    so imagine how many copies it would of sold if it had better protection!
    i can see this shattering the originals record of 11M worldwide sales!

    True, devs need to find better ways to protect their IPs

    brutal, but fair!
    i have so many power outages here its not funny!
    plus since im stuck on cable, every time it rains which is 24/7 lately the internet cuts out causing me to loose my progress in the game and get booted out!
    hate ubisoft, thats why im not buying any of their games anymore.
    thats fine, they want to treat me like that they can go jump!
