What does 1.1 million pre-order book mean exactly. I just want to know if that means that their are 1.1 million pre-orders already or is it spin?

great news

AWESOME.3-6m lifetime

He means ordered to be shipped, he has no idea how many have been pre-ordered by customers in stores. As far as software sales being up he mentions no time frame, he may be talking about YOY i dunno.

There's no way KZ2 will have close to 1.1 million sales in the first week, or more specifically in one region. These are probably the amount of copies retailers have bought.

it is possible to have 1.1million in europe. After all, it is the largest install base for the console. You have to understand, just because you pre order a game, that don't mean you will purchase it.

If geow can do 2.2mil in a day and this has been hyped more then pamela andersons assets during her baywatch days, then 1.1mil in Europe is very much possible!

 Ok. Got ya. Still, that number may go up as the demo comes out, more pre-orders are made and retailers raise shipment numbers. For a few weeks away from release that sounds like a good number.

not saying it isn't possible, but he does not have these numbers.  The numbers that he knows are how many Sony is going to ship, not how much each individual store has pre-ordered from customers.

well arent you a troll.

There is always a possibly that a PS3 game let alone a gmae like Killzone 2 to have a 1.1 million first week. There is still a few more weeks left and mattering customer demand these numbers will increase. As they increase the possibility that 1m in a region increases.
