It's SHIPPED, not SOLD. Shipped is SOLD TO STORES.

Plus, it isn't possible to A BEST 2 Ato sell that much outside Japan because all the markets Ayu is popular are very small (Taiwan, Singapore) and have insgnificant sales numbers, except China, of course, but with piracy and stuff, I really doubt she sold over 200k of A BEST 2.

And the 1.9 million shipment is JAPAN ONLY.

Exactly.

But actually, AVEX is quite happy because they made money of the SHIPPED copies. But the CD stores probably aren't very happy...
