Umm... let's bring it back people.

First off, those are pre-order numbers, not actual purchases... ZOMG. The only people who buy the game will pre-order it! Uhh... no.

Also, that doesn't include bundles. Lots of people will be buying the MGS4 bundle in Japan, Europe, and America. Both the Sony one, and the Gun-metal one.

Sales for the actual game for the first week will hover around a million, but with bundles included, it'll easily pass 1 million first week, and climb to 4-5 million lifetime.

So calm down darthdevidem01. Breathe for a second, and remember that pre-orders =/= sales.

 Yes you are right, but something similar happen with SMG one of the big games of Nintendo, pre-orders were big, but the actual sales were... well low compared to the preorders... is this game bigger than SMG???

Source said that these were actual pre-orders, not retail pre-orders.  The data comes from the same place he gets his Preliminary Data each week, so 165k actual people have pre-ordered the game.

Plus bundling from both Konami and Sony should ensure a week of 3-400k, not disappointing at all.
