Would that not mean, the amount ordered from the distributers is not what is used on Oricon?

Hmm i'm pretty sure it was sold over 2 million copies. If Oricon uses the amount ordered from the distributers, that would be meaningless....I mean, what's meaningful is that the CD is actually sold to a customer, the fans.
