Who the hell told you that?

They lied, or marketed. It looks exactly like Oblivion in terms of play.

it seems that there has been a real improvement from Oblivion… At some point I’ll pick up it too

Ive seen it played through on the PS3 only, whats wrong with it again?

I porbabaly won’t get it really. I just don’t fancy a bad shooter RPG, and I feel sorry for the Fallout fanbs.

With Psychotext on that, and I’ll probabaly pick it up on PC.

Having seen a walkthrough of quite a lot of the game, I ahve to admit I don’t get the hype.

I’ll pick up mine from the bargain bins in a couple of months.

One of these 4.7 million should be in my hands before long. Hurry up Mr. Postman

A hardcore game like this will be heavily front loaded anyway so I doubt it will make a difference. A bigger issue will be missing the steam sales for the PC.

Shame we’ll only get a few days’ figures in the NPD.

First week UK sales looked like this:

“‘Fallout 3′ was launched on Xbox 360 (55%), PS3 (28%) and PC (17%) and tops each of its individual charts this week with the Xbox 360 launch outselling that of Bethesda’s critically acclaimed ‘Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion’ by 57%.”

I’d be interested to see the split. Betcha they’re aiming for 360 in the US as a primary target.

Suppose you have to remember that those 4.7m copies cover three platforms. There’s no way it could do anything like that on just the 360 (for instance).

I’d be surprised if they didn’t get through most of it, tbh. This and Gears are no brainers for the core 360 market.

That’s a bloody big shipment. Wonder what it sold-through…
