Maybe the CD+DVD 8 left copies are only the first press?

^ Double checked, first press is already sold out.
There are now only 7 copies left in stock.
Im pretty sure they can still get more, but they maybe didn't order enough the begin with??

I think Avex only made around 200k copies of Five, they didn't think Five would do well, they had little faith in this mini album so they didn't make many copies and did very little promotion for FIVE.
well it turned out Five is doing extremely well, Avex big wigs are probably kicking themselves right now :))

^something's happened with avex this summer. they didn't promote Kuu's 50th single too :rolleyes

At least they've managed to create some hype for 4TIMES and Ku got to perform on more than one music show.

^ great. With 3 more days it's bound to break 150k. I wonder if it will ever reach 200k though.

quite hard. 175k is ok.
200k if it's possible.
let's praaayyyy :D

5th Day
Position: #2
Daily Sales: 3,016

so is it like 144k now?

Ayu - 5,135 + 4,458 + 4,159 + 3,573 + 3,016 = 20,341
KREVA - 5,398 + 7,337 + 5,840 + 3,269 = 21,844
KREVA's album drop faster than Ayu so hopefully within 2 days Ayu will beat him

5th Day
Position: #2
Daily Sales: 3,016
Sales: 15,883 + x
Total Sales: 142,907 + x

I dont think ayu will get #1 this week..

seems like the CD-only and CD+DVD version are about to sold out!!! What about the cd-only ToX version?

if Kreva sales go down again there MIGHT be a chance ayu gets # 1
Namco just announced that TOX has already shipped 500,000 copies in its first day, how can this not be helping FIVE sales?!?!!

I think it will pass 200+ sales, especially since there are over 600.000 Tales of Xillia [PS3] game's shipped*, there must be a lot of people who are interested in the soundtrack and eventually want to buy it.

+ The mini album [CD only] is incredibly cheap, so that is another reason why this is able to perhaps pass over 200+ sales.

Maybe it will help digitally in the long range? It seems that games do better in general than music anyway=P

me too >< but... lets hope!!

SO close to 150k. I have high hopes for 175k too-- who knew this would do so well? I was certainly too pessimistic.
