Today's sudden last-minute delay of Watch Dogs has many wondering: what happens to my next-gen console pre-order? Many gamers may have opted to buy a system with Watch Dogs, with some gamers not having much of a choice. Many retailers forced early adopters to buy a game in order to get a day-one console. With Watch Dogs no longer available on day-one, what happens?

"For those of you who pre-ordered the Watch Dogs PlayStation 4 bundle--don't worry--you will still be getting your PlayStation 4 (without Watch Dogs) based on your current delivery estimate," Amazon told their fans on Facebook. "We are adjusting the orders now and will update you once we know more."

GameStop will also honor bundles, shipping consoles and the game separately. Customers will also have a chance to change their packaged game. "GameStop is contacting customers who had reserved PlayStation 4 and Xbox One bundles featuring the game. Customers can elect to keep their current bundle orders and their consoles will ship as scheduled with the game shipping separately once it is available or customers can choose another bundle to replace their current order," a company rep told IGN.

      What happens: Pre-orders cancelled. Watch Dogs is the biggest game that drove next gen hardware sales.

          Of everything coming out at launch, Watch Dogs was easily the most interesting to me. If I were going to jump in on a pre-order for the next gen and if I had to choose a bundle, it would have been one that included Watch Dogs.

        I was going to cancel my PS4 pre-order, Watchdogs is the only game coming out on PS4 in the next 6 months I was interested in, but a friend asked if they could have my pre-order as first allocation is sold out.

        Im getting an Xbox One now as they have got quite a few platform exclusives Id like to play, Dead Rising 3, Forza 5 etc.

        I feel so sick to say that as I really dont like the Xbox ecosystem and have NO friends who own Xboxes.
