Exgerated and lier,5 minutes is very short period of time,i believe these is an expectation,in a given period of time,but in five minutes to sell such kind of amount, impossible....
It's actually not a lie. Xiaomi system or process is through flash sales, first come first serve. I remember when I bought Redmi 2s in 2013 in india 100,000 units went out of stock in less than a minute. I was lucky to get mine, some of my roommates who clicked almost same time with me where left bamboozled by seeing the caption "out of stock".
