I dun think you get the wrong idea, but it seems to me that you're directly translating NINKI's index into sales figure (yeah I'm confused about the sentence I bold above). NINKI is never meant to be a sales NUMBER indicator. It's just a suvery to see how the oricon members feel about the particular single (or album). If the value is high, it really just means people tend to favor that cd. I never use NINKI to judge the sales figure. Instead, I use it to judge how the general public, or at least the members in oricon, reacts towards the song/album.

I was gonna reply to ayu-marco's msg but you do me a favor
.
I dun think the comments made on amazon.jp or other websites were done after the sales figures were up. In fact I believe they existed even before the cd was released. Also, a low budget pv doesn't equal to a poorly executed one. For instance, GREEN (and even Mirrorcle World) looks more expensive than Days, but I believe many of us love Days over that damn guy's directed pv. Looking back to her older pvs like evolution, M, appears, etc., I dun think they use high budgets, but the executions are great, make them really nice pvs.
The last point from marco is correct. The Japanese economy is bad, and ayu is not a power seller anymore, so I actually think the sales are decent.
But I still think the single is still at ayu's lower standard... (yeah just an opinion.. no need to battle
lol).
