I'm more a movie guy than a game guy, but I can think of dozens of times they gambled on tie-ins before the product was released. There was a movie "The Hindenberg" back in the 1970s. They tried to make tie-in jewelry about a disaster. Besides, we don't know how many pre-orders there are.
Again, I'm not an expert, but it doesn't look too far-fetched to me.
