Sold 5 million in the first 11 days so it's likely already surpassed that.

The OP article also mentions that they are expecting to sell 11.6 million in the first year. They're gonna be fine

If they burned through 5 million in 11 days they should be WELL past that by now I'd think...

For most things like games and movies, especially those that are highly anticipated, a huge chunk of sales are immediate. Then there's a steep drop off in rate of sales.

I wouldn't be surprised if they've long since surpassed their goal, but initial sales are generally just a good indication of initial sales. Not much else.
