Yesterday afternoon, Lionhead updated theirdevelopment blogwith some remarkable numbers. The studio’s latest game,Fable II, has reached the 2.6 million sales mark, cementing it as a commercial success. A startling 66,000,000 Achievements have been earned since launch, revealing to the dev team the easiest and hardest rewards to obtain.
According to the posting, the introductory Achievement “The Whippersnapper” (collect five gold pieces during childhood) was obtained by 2,800,000 people. The multiplayer oriented “The Dollcatcher” (collect all the hero dolls) has only been obtained by 61, 037 players or a scant 1.9 percent of owners.
Considering the success of the game and Xbox Live Silver’s free access, I’m surprised more people haven’t uploaded their scores. Regardless, this is an interesting lens to view a game. Too bad Lionhead didn’t make a “get called Chicken Chaser four billion times” Achievement. That one would have been off the chain popular.
