@lrdfancypants: OK, and this has what to do with the question you asked and I answered?

Q: Why mention "Ratchet & Clank"?

A: Because it's Insomniac's best-known game/series.

Should Eddie correct that statement about it being a remaster? Sure, but that has nothing to do with what you asked.

@Thanatos2k: You're speaking in absolutes when absolutes have no truth.

"the Xbox audience only cares about shooters"

If that were true, Xbox One wouldn't be listed as a platform for Madden/FIFA/Fallout/etc. In order to register on the NPD list, some copies have to have been sold, meaning that the Xbox audience cares about things other than shooters enough to buy them.

@SamJones879: "Ratchet and Clank have nothing to do with this, Why mention it?"

Because that's the game/series Insomniac is most widely-known for?

I'll be very disappointed if Sony Bend's game turns out to be something other than a new Syphon Filter.

@Thanatos2k: And? You're not really proving your argument. Xbox One owners bought shooters. They bought "Madden.' They bought 'Need for Speed.'

@reduc_ab_: That's the wonderful thing about the English language: some thoughts can be expressed wonderfully in two or three words, while others can be phrased in some condescending "Need I remind you?" tone while saying absolutely nothing.

@sladakrobot: You can't blame Bethesda, though. It announced the release date for "Fallout 4" at its pre-E3 event on June 14. Microsoft announced the RoTR release date at its pre-E3 event the next morning.

While the game's production schedule had been set to make a Nov. 10 release date, Microsoft could've easily pushed it back one week to Nov. 17 or (not so easily) up one week to Nov. 3.

@Jdzspace: Or bundled with the PS4, since bundled games don't count towards the NPD chart.

@reduc_ab_: This IS the NPD report for November. Are you trying to refer to the NPD report released IN November that was actually FOR October.

@lostn: It was No. 3 in the NPD report for October 2015 (its month of release).

Just for comparison: AC Unity landed only at No. 5 in its debut (Nov. 2014) despite following the stellar Black Flag. In its second month of release (Dec. 2014), Unity wasn't even in the Top 10.
