"He even hinted that the ending of Fable III will lead right into the next game."
You know Peter, we call that a cliffhanger, and they're terrible ideas.
You know, I don't mind the Fable games, though every single one has been an exercise in disappointment and unfulfilled promises (Peter should run for Pres, wark, wark). What I can't stand is Molyneux's verbal diarrhea. The man has admitted being a terrible game designer. The only thing that made me moderately interested in Fable III was when I heard that he wasn't very involved with it.
And Honestly, when is a company not wanting to abandon its money-making franchises a new thing. Nintendo's been doing that for years, I hate to break it to you Peter.
