No, it's not that we are satisfied, it's that we knew it was going to be like this yet everyone else turned a blind eye and said things like she would beat Namie's first weak, it would sell over a million etc. etc. When anyone that has followed how Oricon goes over the last several years would have known that those things weren't going to happen. A million isn't even possible really at this point unless her sales stabilize at some point and then continue selling like that for several weeks, but that hasn't happened for Ayu in a long time, so don't count on it.

And as to your second question - actually no. And this goes for any artist, not just Ayu - things that deserve it should always sell more than things that don't. (in a perfect world)

She may just barely hit 500k for the first week.(certainly not bad sales, but not awesome either and many people would consider on the low side for a collection such as this.)
