Eurogamer.net has an image of a promotional flyer that indicates the PC edition of Assassin's Creed III will not be released alongside the console editions of the stealth action sequel as planned on October 30th, but will instead be sneaking into stores on November 23rd (which is a Friday, so this may be fine-tuned for North America. Ubisoft told them: "The Windows PC release date is still to be announced."

Most players aren't going to wait weeks/months just to play the PC version. Now, if Ubisoft made more money per console version sale, the delays would make sense. Except that's not how it works. The PC version has a higher profit margin, particularly with digitally distributed copies. No manufacturing costs, no shipping costs, no console-maker royalties, no retailer bribes for shelf space... you'd think that Ubisoft would want to focus on PC sales in order to maximize profits. Yeah, that might contribute to less pc sales, and thus, a grimer view of the PC market.
