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.

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? :(

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 - 122 days 3 hours ago

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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

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 - 122 days 7 hours ago

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.

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 - 122 days 7 hours ago

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.
