someone posted it sth about 25K??
25k is how many they are making, but they are not selling 25k total across the online stores. The online stores are only getting a small amount of that 25,000.

YesAsia gets x amount, CDJapan get x amount, HMV gets x amount, Amazon.jp gets x amount... etc. I think more copies go for sale in physical stores though for limited press goods. There are a lot of retailers that handle online sales though, so each can sell a certain amount...

See: ELT's 10,000 limited single... their first week was 6.8k but they sold out at all online stores. -shrugs- Online stores only make up a small fraction of stores receiving the limited pressings.
