The following info comes straight from Ubisoft...

- Assassin's Creed III is already on track to become the most pre-ordered title in the company's history
- that figure pertains to North America
- Assassin's Creed III has more reserves than any previous game in the series in the same time period
- the game has reached Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood’s life-to-date U.S. pre-order total
- on track to match the life-to-date U.S. pre-order figures for Ubisoft’s previously most pre-ordered game, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, by E3

I wonder just how many of those preorders are for the Wii U version...
