If she doesn't get a #1 single there's no more chances to keep expanding on that 36 single record it's finished, done forever. By not releasing singles right now it stays intact with potential to increase it even further.
Down the road a new Ayu might pop up and threaten her streak so by doing it this way it gives avex a chance to lengthen it even more. It very well could happen, in 2008 people were saying we would probably never see a million selling single again (not counting JE) and that HEART STATION would be the last original album by a female artist/group to sell over 1 million.
Then akb happened oops

Unless you have some crystal ball that tells you what ayumi's sales are going to be before she releases something?
As for singles making more then mini's, I was giving you two examples. The first one was singles making more money...
If ayumi released two singles instead of this mini:
First single - sells 90K
2nd single sells 110K
that would equal 200K
and if she released the mini and it only sold 150K. then the singles would have made more money.
But, if the singles only sell 30K each and the mini sold 100K... then the mini made more money. It can go both ways....

If it was really that simple don't you think the heads of record labels, advertisers etc. would have figured that out by now.
Sure it COULD go both ways but as proven by the way the Japanese music industry has operated for the past 30+ years singles are better.
