There are still many weeks to go before RoTR releases, but look at all those games releasing at about the same time, and of course one very notable game not releasing until next year (UC4). And yet according to VGC RoTR hasn't even got 20K pre-orders on either platform. Either this can;t be right or it's looking very bad for RoTR. Is it really a case of everyone seeming to be prioritising other games ahead of RoTR, and that RoTR is on the "will get eventually" list?

I also see Ass Creed Syndicate is suffering very low pre-orders too, I wonder if franchise fatigue is going to hit that game really hard. Or if perhaps pre-ordering for these action games just takes a bit longer to come online.
