For all the people who are worried about these sales, do you remember the following artists?

Mai Kuraki
Chemistry
Orange Range

At some point in their careers, they've outsold Ayumi Hamasaki, single-wise and album-wise. I think Ayu is still doing very well for someone who's been around for a decade.

If there weren't four versions of this album, I would think the decrease in sales would be relatively low. Maybe the sales would be 20,000 less. I find it hard to believe that there are that many stupid, wasteful people who would buy more than two versions of an album, or even one. I think I'm being generous: 20,000 is already a lot of stupid.

To be more scientific about it, maybe there can be an AHS poll. Who bought more than one version of Next Level? And then just work out the statistics and ratios.
