it didn't even have half a million preorders lol

Forget the pre orders, they predict 5 million will be sold throughout the holiday.

They lied about how well it was actually selling and you think they won't lie about predictions? They only uped the predictions because move was going to easily clear the 3 mil bar, so they want to look like they can do more even if they can't 

Dude, you don't go into a shareholder's meeting and lie.  This isn't highschool.  There is accountability.

Take off the tinfoil hat.

They weren't lying to the shareholders they are lying to the press 

Meanwhile they're telling their shareholders "Tee hee hee, we're just kidding about that, really.  Don't get your hopes up!"

If the world worked like you think it does (telling people a product is sold out will automatically make then buy it and you can sell anything with a large enough ad budget) then no company would ever go under and every product would be a massive hit.  I mean, Sony told people they would want the PS3 so badly that they would be happy to get a second job to afford one!  Jack Tretton also said that if you could even find one in stores after launch they'd pay you $1200 bucks for it!

That's why the PS3 shot out of the gate like a rocket and never looked back.

No their telling the shareholders it's all part of their marketing strategy, and it's not like this is the first time a company has used the strategy, I really have no idea what basis you are calling me crazy on
