Doesn't the 200k pre-orders indicate the retailers stock? Is that added to a regular order or something?

I think the Source mean customers pre-orders he is talking about reserving games so...


It has to be retailer preorders. Think of it as a cap for how many units *can* sell in the first week.  For example, if all retailers sold out in the first week that'd be about 200k sales.  But there is still plenty of time for more retailers to order more copies before the game ships.



Look....MGS4 WILL NOT sell less than DMC 4 in its 1st week...

The are customer pre-orders...

as The preliminary data is of "customers" buying the game....so in the case of pre-orders its should be that of the "customer pre0order level"

it is Y-Koron who gets that data not The source



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Torillian explain why I am confused.... Can someone ask the Source what he means?

 These are retail pre orders. If demand is there then they will order more just like Monster Hunter 2.



MGS4 will sell more than 1.5mil in China,due to the Olympics.



So It seems to be retail pre-orders
even if TheSource own answer will be helpfull to us.

max 200k/week 1 is really not amazing to me



Time to Work !

Its bloody terrible otherwise....



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Again if the demand is there then they will pre order more.
