Europæiske gamere har virkelig taget Fable til sig. Således kan Chart-Track og GfK meddele at spillet i weekenden d. 9 til d. 10. oktober slog alle salgsrekorder for et Xbox-spil. Fable er derfor nu det hurtigst sælgende Xbox-spil nogensinde. En ære som spillet givetvis vil kunne holde fast på indtil Halo 2 lander i november.
Michel Cassius sagde følgende ved annonceringen:
"We're very excited that so many gamers are experiencing the world of Albion in 'Fable. The success of 'Fable' is a tribute to the vision of Peter Molyneux and Lionhead and to the fantastic open-ended and accessible gameplay experience that 'Fable' offers. The choices the gamer makes during the course of the adventure creates a completely different experience each time the game is played, offering outstanding replay value and widening the appeal while satisfying the core gamer audience. This title is a great example of how the Xbox portfolio is broadening, encompassing titles for the committed gamer as well as more casual gamers."
