So, if I understand this correctly, Trails of Cold Steel III lost 3,000 pre-orders?

I think one point = one preorder.

The "one point = 1,000 sales" is just extrapolation based on historical data.

Sometimes, it is totally off...

So no, it only lost 3 preorders in this particular shop.

Oh, that's worse than what I thought!

Comgnet preorder stats / comparisons, as of September 7th, 2017

[PSV] The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 2 - 24pt + 23pt = 47pt
[PS3] The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 2 - 22pt + 20pt = 42pt
[PS4] The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 3 - 37pt + 20pt = 57pt

[PS4] Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 - 18pt
[PS3] Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 - 17pt
[PS4] Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 - 21pt / less than 21pt
[PS4] Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 - 19pt

[WIU] Pokken Tournament - 50pt
[SWI] Pokken Tournament DX - 23pt

[SWI] Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for Nintendo Switch - 19pt

[WIU] Hyrule Warriors - 13pt / less than 13pt

Note: in the past few years, the ratio between preorder points and thousands of units sold have costantly decreased, and the past few months saw several examples of a much lower ratio than usual for several games (i.e. more actual thousands sold per preorder point), considering their platforms and genres (The Last Guardian, Poochy and Yoshi's Wolly World, Nioh, Final Fantasy XV as the first major examples).
