The COMG column refers to the COMG retail chain in Japan. Each point represents 1 pre-order for that game at their store(s). They publish these pre-order numbers every day on their web site. We have a long running thread for the data.

The sales column is the actual units sales for the first week for each title.
The ratio is the comparison of actual sales to the pre-order figures. A 1:1000 would mean 1 pre-order for every 1,000 unit sales.
COMG pre-orders are often near that 1:1000 ratio so predictions for games based on those COMG pre-order figures are usually not too far off. These charts show which ones were close to the 1:1000 ratio and which were way off.
