We are talking ONE week.
Seriously... The number of sales that they are likely to lose to casual gamers in that time is not that huge.
How much money do you seriously think Ubisoft is going to throw into pushing HOE? Customers aren't going to walk into the store and be hit by a media blitz for it.
It is a niche audience, and its advertising budget will reflect that.
BoP already has an excellent demo out there, and they have positive word of mouth from that going into release.
HOE has none of that. Far fewer people have even heard of HOE.
