How many units after that? You can sell a 40K units in five minutes but if that 40K = all your potential buyers, that is a dead product.

All that tells you is that 40K people knew about it, wanted it, and had the disposable income to purchase it.

I bet sales slowed pretty quickly after that.

To be fair, it was potential buyers who are buying sight unseen with an open ended delivery date. The potential retail market is likely an entirely different number.
