Let's see. Here are some fairly pessimistic estimates for TLoU in the coming weeks
Pre-orders in US NOW: 160k
Pre-orders in US at Launch: 250k - 350k (assuming it averages 7-15k pre-orders per week, which is a very modest estimate)
Pre-orders in NA at launch: 300k - 400k (a modest increase for other NA territories)
First Week Sales in NA: 400k - 500k (actual sales are always considerably higher than total pre-orders)
So yeah, your 250-300k estimate is looking low.
Assuming VGChartz data is correct of course.
