Yes yes yes, that's all good'n dandy, but everyone knows the reputation of possibly being Oblivion in a post apacolyptic setting is what made FO3 such a day-one-super-seller-smash-hit.
Bethesda fanboys who loved Oblivion was the primary market of FO3, of that I have no doubt, simply because there aren't millions of Fallout 1-2 fans out there. The only possible relationship the millions of new fans could have to FO3 is through Bethesda's previous titles, especially the one that happens to use the exact same engine.
I consider FO3 a good game by the way, so I'm not actually bashing it, nor do I consider it Oblivion with guns (it's far better than Oblivion). I was merely responding to Tragos commenting on people not buying FO3 due to Oblivion, when in reality Oblivion certainly increased the overall sales of FO3 by a lot (millions possibly).
Edit: Where did those millions of console fans come from (as far as I know, FO3 has sold roughly 3,5-4 million copies on consoles alone)? Two words: Bethesda. Oblivion.
