Zelda Pre-orders Hit 250,000

That was the number of copies sent to all the retailers originally - not the number pre-ordered by consumers.

People often confuse these.

The same thing happened with Splinter Cell. 1.1 million copies were ordered by retailers originally, and right away, the false rumour spread that consumers had pre-ordered 1.1 million copies of the game in the US (which was simply completely untrue).


These numbers for Zelda (250 000) are NOT the number of orders from retailers, rather the number of pre-orders by consumers, and like it says, the official pre-sell time period hasn't even begun yet.

True enough.
