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...

Considering that myself and nearly everyone in my guild bought online(DD) for early game access while we were in beta - yes. This is a pc only online mmo after all.

Even WoW expansions have much lower preorders than first weeks. Arbitrary evidence is not enough.

Wow didn't have early access  - so that makes your point moot. And you're not a pc gamer and don't live in the US. If you buy brick and mortar you pay 8% or more sales tax - you don't online.
