Oricon doesn't count sales for fun or because they are bored, it's a way to define who is hot and who os marketable, and for being a good source of who is and isn't marketable they can't count sales shipped overseas, as those people aren't part of the Japanese market (in other words, you can't consider oversea sales to hire a popstar for a japanese only tie-in) and the venue sales are reduced because they were frequently faked by the labels.
They don't make money from stan wars, they make money from the companies that need those numbers...
