Why does the Sales chart show a large number of sales the day BEFORE release?

For some reason the Sales page shows 2,847 sales the day before my game released. The store page was published on 4/8 but it was marked as unavailable. The release time was set as 4/9 at 11 AM MDT and that’s exactly when it became available to ‘Get’. So why are there so many sales on 4/8? (see image below)

I want to be able to trust the analytics and am not sure if I can if it’s going to show sales when sales shouldn’t have been possible. Could this be the doing of bots? My game is listed for free.

Thanks!
