I would assume it includes the pre-orders, because if it did not then I would guess we would see a headline more like: 3 million iPad Minis in three days PLUS another two million (or whatever) in pre-orders!
Regardless, that's an impressive number for a device that already had well established competition and Steve Jobs claiming nobody wanted it.
EDIT: oh wait, that's 4th gen and iPad Minis combined? I thought it was for just the mini. Are there numbers out there about how the mini sold? I don't see it broken down in the press release unless I totally missed it. I think it's a bit unfair to say that the latest iPad and the mini doubled the number sold of the previous iPad since that's comparing the totals of two products against one. Still, impressive numbers.
If it's anything like the iPhone 5, it'll be the total number delivered into a customer's hands - which will include some pre-orders but not necessarily all of them.
