Nokia X Pre-orders in China reached 1 Million ?

A reprot from JD.com shows that Nokia's first Android smartphone, Nokia X, received more than 1 Million Pre-orders in China which is a pretty good number considering its has been recently announced. However, LiveSide.net points out that these 1 million pre-orders were made on JD.com, a hugely popular Chinese online store that apparently allows registered customers to pre-order a product without committing to purchase it.

Which means users have been lured into hitting the Nokia X pre-order button by a contest that lets one of them win the new Android-based smartphone for free. So it seems that these are more like pre-registrations rather than pre-orders. Of course, since the Nokia X is really cheap, costs around $97 (599 Chinese Yuan).
