Which game will be more successful, Skyrim or Fallout 4?

I want to preface this message by saying that I never played Morrowind back when it first came out.

Having said that, Oblivion is my favorite Bethesda game. I had just purchased a 360 a couple months prior and that game just took over my life for about a year.

I enjoyed Skyrim, Fallout 3 and to a lesser extent Fallout: New Vegas, but none of them got me the way ES:IV did. I probably went back to New Vegas about 4 or 5 separate times to get all of the achievements. It just didn't hook me at all.

I'm just praising the great Bethesda gods in the sky, they finally gave us some proper gun handling...

Fallout 4 is going to be epic!

Fallout 4 – Launch and Beyond

After many long years, Fallout 4 is entering its final months of development. We've put so much into it for so long; we can’t believe it’s almost done. The game will soon be out of our hands and into yours. There’s so much there that we haven’t talked about
or spoiled, because we want you to discover it, to make it your own.

It's during this stage of development that we start thinking about how we'll support Fallout 4 after launch. We wanted to give you a taste of what we plan on doing:

Regular Updates

We'll be doing regular free updates to the game, and like Skyrim, these will come with not just fixes, but new features. For Skyrim we added things like mounted combat, legendary mode, kill cams, visual enhancements and more. We’ll work with all of you to
figure out what new things you’d love to see added to Fallout 4, whether they are small tweaks or new features.

Mods & Creation Kit

The most important thing in our games is the freedom you have to create your own experience, and modding is a big part of that. Like all our previous games, we’ve made sure to keep Fallout 4 open and moddable at every step in development. Early next year
we’ll release for free the new Creation Kit for the PC. This is the same tool we use in the studio. You'll be able to create your own mods and share them with others. We’re especially excited these same mods will then be coming to Xbox One, and then PlayStation
4.

Downloadable Content

We've always done a lot of DLC for our games. We love making them and you always ask us for more. To reward our most loyal fans, this time we’ll be offering a Season Pass that will get you all of the Fallout 4 DLC we ever do for just $30. Since we’re still
hard at work on the game, we don’t know what the actual DLC will be yet, but it will start coming early next year. Based on what we did for Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim, we know that it will be worth at least $40, and if we do more, you'll get it all with
the Season Pass.

Thanks again to all of you! The support and excitement you’ve given Fallout 4 has blown us away. It’s energized us even more to do everything we can in these final months to make this our best game yet. We absolutely can't wait for you to play it, and share
your adventures with us and each other.

Loved Morrowind and Fallout 3! Oblivion and New Vegas were good, but slightly dumbed down for the masses. Skyrim was alright, though it was the only Bethesda R.P.G. I never felt a need to buy the Game Of The Year edition.

Fallout 4 is looking good enough that I broke my rule on pre-ordering!

^Yup, wasn't Todd Howard's team, so Fallout 4 is a sequel to Fallout 3 not New Vegas... Curious to see if bits of New Vegas make it into Fallout 4 though, Some adaptation of hardcore mode would be great!
