II and III seem to be the peak of the franchise sales. They somehow managed to go lower than Unity, while Syndicate did even worse.

It has a 30% digital attach rate.
I'd presume with digital it's close to the Black Flag/Revelations sales as Ubi have over 30% digital attach rate which is probably even higher than that now.
The last couple games were not very well received, which probably held down early sales of this one (I didn't rush out and buy it, but have picked it up since hearing positive stuff about it). But, since this one has reviewed pretty well, I think there's a good chance the next one will get more preorders and first week sales.
