The witches never said "Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth". In Act 4, Scene 1, both the First Apparition and the Second Apparition begin their prophecies by calling out, "Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!" Macbeth responds to the First Apparition by thanking it for warning him against the Thane of Fife (Macduff). Macbeth responds to the Second Apparition with: "Had I three ears, I'd hear thee."

It doesn't. On the contrary, if you didn't already know from the title of the play, (The Tragedie of Macbeth, as it's called in the First Folio), you would think from what the witches said that everything will be going great for Macbeth: he's Thane of Glamis, he is going to become Thane of Cawdor, and he will eventually become King.
