The Source already stated they were from the same source as their Japanese preliminary sales....meaning they are retail pre-orders, not consumer level.

...No?

The Preliminary data we get every Sunday isn't retail pre-orders, they're just estimations on consumer sell-through based on smaller samples then when the final data is posted.

Except the peliminary data has often had retail preorder data in it.  So his meaning is vague still.
