after reading the pre order chart for a few years i think it's meant ot be taken with a grain of salt. I doubt they get numbers from any retailer. Just an educated guess by ioi. 

you can take it either way.

the site has good estimates more than often and it's the only real estimate we have that takes into account of all retailers. 

i appreicate the effort and the charts but the initial estimates have been terrible for the last year. Both software and hardware. They get adjusted after NPD, media create, chart track comes out which makes it appear the numbers have been good. In relaity they are very wide of the mark. 

But it's a one man show and ioi does a better job than 99% of us would do on our own. That's why I don't really agree when people attack the site. It's one man doing this very boring and repetive job. I respect him a lot actually.
