No one has mentioned the obviously overtracked pre-orders for the Old Republic? This is almost becoming a "thing".


Overtracked? - vg had preorders for US at less than 1 mill.

Preorders:

1 Star Wars: The Old Republic PC 1 18,715 958,073

Sales:

1
Star Wars: The Old Republic (PC)
Electronic Arts, RPG
1 967,764 967,764

Do you seriously believe only 10.000 people bought the game without preordering it? And that preorders amounted for 99% of FW sales...

while it obviously was a bit overtracked, unless adjusted down later on, really isn't as much as you think. People who preordered it got to play it a week early, and this is a MMO after all, where starting a week early will put you at a big advantage over other players. Seems logical that most people who are so interested in playing it as soon as it comes out will preorder it and play it the week before it comes out as well.
