Not really, no. If Pre-orders were counted as sales as soon as they were ordered, then the PS4 (and likely the One) would be boasting sales numbers several million units higher than they currently are, correct? As I understand it, even if either console is sold out and waiting for pre-order fulfillment in perpetuity, each 'run' of stock that Sony/Microsoft release is counted once it reaches retail and is transferred to customer ownership. So, basically, VGChartz could simply update their numbers for the next month or two, via the shipment figures that Sony/Microsoft release.
