Well, from the comments "pretty good" and "pleasantly surprised" seemed to suggest pre-orders are better than expected, which can imply either they are high and exceeded them, or they are low and are well.... better than expected. From the wording used, it sounds like 2nd one.

If they expected 500k (a very good number and I am not saying it is this) and have pre-orders at 750k, they can still be 'pleasant surprised'.

You are trying to draw blood from a stone by assuming they had low expectations. All we know for sure is that they had internal figures on what they assumed they would get, and currently they are doing better than that. Which is only a positive thing.

Well, it's just how I interpretted the comments being made.

I'm kinda surprised they said anything at all. I wouldn't expect a comment unless the numbers were excellent.

Well, he was being asked about :) That's the best anwser, better than not responding hehe

Yeah, that is likely tbe best answer they could give.

What, did they have low expectations or something?

Yeah, just have low expectations and you can always publish these tipes of announcements.

Such meaningless PR talk.

Of crouse I believe the PS4 Pro will be an enormous success despite the initial negativism (remember that? When The PS4 Neo was first rumoured many Sony fans here were protesting and claiming it would fragment the player base. It's all forgetten now, which I'm very happy for), but it's not due to this sales report.

That's kind of how I feel with the comments that were made.

Despite my interpretations from these comments, I think the Pro will be successful. It looks like sales could just carry from the Pro, since its price is the same as how the PS4 started, kind of like the New 3DS.
