We need a concrete definition of 'preorders'. It seems like store orders have often been given the name preorders if it is just stores ordering copies to sell.

Is preordering common in Japan? Are people pushed to preorder from retailers like they are with EB/Gamestop here? 300k preorders seems like an awful lot when that's 30% of the installed base for the PS3. I don't believe that number.


There is no standard.

God of War 2 had 1 million preorders for the US, but didn't sell much more than that. 

Pokemon DP had 500k preorders for the US, and will sell millions more than that.
