Will Fable lll hit 5m sales??

The creative director of Microsoft Game Studios Peter Molyneux has stated that the publisher’s forthcoming Xbox 360 RPG Fable III needs to sell 5m copies to justify significant UI and gameplay changes.

Fable III has completely ditched the traditional HUD and simplify the controls as much as possible, with combat now handled with a single button.

The first Fable on the original Xbox sold 3m copies, with the Xbox 360 sequel shifting 3.5m units. A significant improvement on these numbers is needed to justify extreme design decisions.

I don't own an Xbox360 but have played Fable & Fable ll and thought it was totally awesome, I hope the changes that have been made are not to major.

Will Fable lll hit the 5m sales what do you think?
