I don't see why the number of preorders so far has to equal the number shipped; more likely the number shipped is going to equal what shops have preordered, so therefore not every shop will be unable to take more preorders.
If gamestop ordered 100k and has 50k preordered by customers, they can accept more preorders
If game has 50k ordered and 50k preordered, they can't accept anymore preorders because they can't get anymore stock from Microsoft
At least that's what I'm thinking, it would explain how preorders can be low-ish yet some places selling out
