looks like so far more people arnt going to preorder or buy it

How do you figure? Of the 13 people youve polled over half will buy the game, 3 of the 8 have already pre-ordered. Doesnt look like theres any cause for concern on Ubisofts part. Bear in mind that every other similar poll thats been done has also reflected a majority consensus of excitement withing the community about Conviction.

13 people will certainly offset the development costs!

Actually, snark aside - this type of a poll (whatever the results) on this particular forum are not incredibly useful. The people, who are on this message board, are pre-disposed or at the very least the most likely to buy the game or pre-order it.

Of course, from my perspective, I would be somewhat worried if I am Ubisoft. The people, who post on this message board, are the hardcore fans of the series. They are the people who should - at least theoretically - be guaranteed pre-orders. Yet, few people responded to the poll (only 13) and of those people that responded, only 3 will pre-order? I don't see tons of excitement.

Look, admittedly, I am not too excited for this game for a variety of reasons that I have already made clear on numerous other topics. However, I would seriously doubt that a "majority" of the posters are excited about Conviction. The majority of posts and topics are negative or contain reservations (you know, "I wish they would go back to light/shadow gameplay, but that trailer did look really cool").

I may rent it just to see what it is like, but as of now, I am not excited enough to buy based on what I have seen to date.

Pre orders dont matter as much as buys. And as of right now its 12 to 7 in favor of the game. If its a good game it will do well, regardless of whether or not some of the die hards cant deal with change.

...or rent it

[LoneInTheDark]

I have never pre-ordered or rented a game. But I do have a question, can a game be rented on the day of release or is there a wait time?
