I think being before the pack, is better than being after the pack. For example Halo 3 was really impressive in September, where I think in November it would have faced tougher challenges (still would be impressive, but no idea as impressive due to competition of popular brands).
Honestly, while I am buying this product, I will have hard time playing this day 1, if I am still playing lets say Pokemon, or Mafia, or World of Final Fantasy. (I'm a well rounded gamer)
It is easier to get lost in the shuffle later on. Also games in holiday season regardless get sales up at Christmas, being closer to Christmas I don't believe has ever stopped something from September-November, from doing insanely more impressive.
