It's a little pessimistic to think that everyone who did buy the CD+DVD versions ended up buying both of them. After all, Sunrise/Sunset had two versions and sold in a similar manner. To assume that everyone did buy all three/two versions doesn't scream "common sense" to me.
What I see here is basically someone trying to discount the fact that she outsold Sunrise/Sunset by making some snide comment about how ~without the third version~ she wouldn't have been able to sell 111k+. But how does one know this? It's like... sure, you take one away and the sales will probably go down a bit, but I don't think it's at all safe to assume that anyone who bought the single bought more than one copy, which is what's being done here. Blah, it's people like this who basically talk about how Ayu's career has been down the tubes in terms of financial success/selling power when for the last 10 years, she's been in the top 3 for female solo artists in total sales in yen. Ugh. It disgusts me that just because one (probably) isn't too satisfied with what she's doing currently when it comes to her music keeps trying to make her successes seem like they're no big deal. What kind of fan does that?!
