I wrote in other thread, the first shipment of Gundam Musou is 170~180k. This number shows the number of Gundam Musou in the distribution in Japan. In other words, the number is the maximum sales in Japan now. The second shipment from Koei is Monday according to some source, and the period of next sales charts is until Sunday. So, the number 500k is the only fiction.
If you need something about Japanese market from the perspective of Japanese, please contact me.
