No, preorder sales come from the x1.7/x1.75 factor that's used at the end of the week. Most releases start their in-store sales on the Tuesday.

^So that means it actually did better than we thought?

Hmmn... isn't that the index comes from like only a portion of stores? Not all the stores submit the sales until the end of the week, that is why the 1.75 factor plays the rule when estimating the actual sales?

It's both that and pre-order sales.

I don't think it confuses people because it happens every year with releases (and not to mention this is her 4th 1.1 release)
