May PC Sales Show Fallout Trilogy

[ Game -> Update ]

The Fallout trilogy is way above the sales of Fallout 3 but I wonder how many people bought the trilogy thinking FO3 was included in it.<blockquote><ol><li><a href="http://www.shacknews.com/tag.x/World+of ... ing">World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King</a> / Blizzard / $39

Brilliant marketing by Interplay. Seriously.

I've got to agree. Calling that pack a 'trilogy' is a bold, but smart move.

Many a 14 year old are bitterly disappointed.

Don't send out Mom to buy your videogames.

I wonder if there will be any lawsuits.

I would imagine that the only reason that the trilogy surpassed F3 in PC sales was that most F3 fans play it on X-bocks.

Naw... if I had to guess, they had the first two with Tactics added in. Those give everything worthwhile in the series.

Not really. The pack was first issued years before Fallout 3 came around and called trilogy then. The cover clearly shows which 3 games it contains. You have to be a complete retard to think it contains F3, which I guess is why Poops expects people to have that difficulty.

The way I see it, the Fallout series consists of two installments and several spinoffs. A fallout trilogy just doesn't sound right. Tactics is and remains a generic (tactical) warfare game wrapped in a Fallout skin; just like FO3.

However, I can fully understand why IPLY is marketing its collection as a trilogy yet it doesn't bother me at all. We're used to this shit, right?

The way I see it, a dead company is trying to grab some potential profit at the expense of a shitty company that deserves to die. This marketing strat gets my full approval.

So many Blizzard games in that list, they sure know how to milk their cash cow.

This differs from Bethesda's target audience...how?
