@sagexsdx, IIRC, core gamers are a BIG percentage of X360 userbase. Their existence in significant # is the major reason why X360 games sales are : - very front loaded (core gamers usually purchase game on launch day) - consistently high (purchase at least 1 game every month) - have good tie ratio (against user base size).
Is there any specific mention in an article that Fable 2 sales will have "small percentage of core gamers vs. total sales" ?
Well, regarding whether it is dealbreaker or not, everyone have their own opinion. But reading at game forum, it seems that quite a few peopel consider it "dealbreaker". Of course, this is anecdotal stories, but based on "anecdotal stories" of Bully X360, I got significant profit from early short of that stock. It is up to every player whether they wanted to rely on anecdotal stories or not.
Lastly, I noticed a downbid on mrahaju's comment. Giving downbid to comment that you don't agree (I am not accusing segexsdx of doing this, I am just speaking in a general term) is a good way to "kill" discussion, so please think twice before anyone downbid a comment.
