Someone mind telling me why ZombiU comes out the 13th of November?

I was checking out Ebgames (Canada's) site. and it says ZombiU comes out November 13th.....5 days before the system comes out lol. Whats up with that?

Also Rayman Legends isnt a Launch title? Launch window apparently according to them its December it comes out. All though I heard it got bumped back to 2013 cause having it and mario (2 platform games at once) would hurt legends sales.

Anyway go to http://www.ebgames.ca/wii-u to see ZombiU coming out 5 days early!!! lol.

After closer inspection...AC3 and Rabbids Land and such also come out the 13th? Batman Dec? WTF lol. I think they just need to update the site is all...

Well this confirms the delay http://au.gamespot.com/news/rayman-legends-delayed-to-2013-6397897

Don't rely too much on EB games dates.

sometimes in a launch, games and accessories come out a few days before the actual system. Happen with PSP/VIta/3DS

Happened during the 360's launch too, I remember getting CoD2 a few days before I got my 360 on launch day. Some game's release before the system does to ensure they get to the store's on time and so customers can have a smoother process of picking up their system by getting a few games before hand so all they have to do launch day is pick up the console.

Kinda opposite here, going to have my deluxe Wii U payed in full Friday. Got all my games preordered through New Egg thanks to the $12 off promo's. I should be getting Zombi U. Scribblenauts, Assassin's Creed 3, and maybe Mass Effect 3 (if it will ship for launch) all before I get my system on the 18th. All I got left to get is New Super Mario Bros. U and still thinking on Black Ops 2...if New Egg throws another preorder promo before launch then I will probably go ahead and preorder Black Ops 2 then.

None of these things are true.

Game companies release their games on Tuesday's. It's part of their business plan; something they won't alter to coincide with a Sunday console release.

They did it with the Wii too. I remember getting Twilight Princess and Red Steel before it launched.

I may be wrong, but i think even the PS2 had a couple games come out before the official launch day as well.

Watched the newest trailer yesterday for ZombiU that came out in the last day or two and it still says 11/13/2012 at the end so its definitely not a mistake.
