DmC continues to be a massive bomb in pre-orders.

I have been wondering this for some time actually. Could it be that vgchartz is just not able to get preorder numbers for the game or are the numbers really that low that it actually does not make the top 40 list?

It'd be weird for there to be an issue like that for weeks and weeks without any mention of it. Are there any other cases of missing pre-order numbers for big retail releases? I haven't been here long so I wouldn't know.

I personally think it's just because the game's core audience--fans of crazy Japanese actioners--see no reason to buy Ninja Theory's reboot when A) it's been routinely shat on and laughed at by them for years now and B) you have Anarchy Reigns AND Revengeance coming out in the same time frame. These kinds of games don't exactly pull COD numbers, especially when Dante isn't involved.

What I'm wondering, though, is why these numbers took so long to come out. Is this normal for the holidays?
