^ About the multiple editions things. I don't think it clearly shows anything other than that having multiple versions can only positively effect sales, not negatively. Otherwise, record companies wouldn't even bother doing it to begin with.
Also, I would say that her popularity was on different levels for NWTS and Moments. Of course she was still popular during both, but NWTS was her big winter ballad that year and she got the Japan Record Award for it - the song was all over the place. Very different situation from Moments. Plus NWTS had tons of remixes and stuff on it. Really doesn't surprise me that it sold more. If you are going to make that argument, then you have to say that all post NWTS singles had multiple versions and all have sold less than most of her prior singles which had only one version.
As we know, there are several factors other than the versions that account for the sales decreases.
The most recent standard we have for her releasing a 2 version single is Talkin' 2 Myself and that was a major let down sales wise by Ayu standards.(and I wish it had done better since I love both songs) What I would really like to know is what her sales would be with only 1 version like back in the old days.
side note: It's interesting to me that her cd+dvd sales are so much higher than her cd only sales.

It all depends on if there are any other major PVs released the same week for download.
