Yes, it is indicative.
More for a publisher, of course, but the more pre-order numbers the game have, the better it (usually) will be presented in stores.
Also, there are more marketing things that relies upon pre-order numbers, but I won't go into details - first of all, I am not allowed to, and then - it is not developer's business.
Of course, not everything depends on pre-orders.
But, typically, if there is a lot of preorders, the game is marketed better and more different ways, and sells better, and than there will be DLCs/sequel, etc.

I just pre-ordered from GameStop and noticed that the game had a nice little pre-order bonus...a free IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey T-shirt. Not bad.

Question: Is this game going to be released at the same time everywhere? Or does the cold northern scandinavia get this game later like most of the games? There is still no pre-order possibility here, that's why Im asking this.

Okay, I'll have to just cool down and wait. Thanks for quick reply. By the way how does it feel that your game is almost like a religion here? Gives some pressure to you too or does it. Long days before you will have feedback from gamers.

I'll be buying this off the shelf at the local GAME store on the release day, (and I'll be trading a good few old titles in at the same time!)
