Incorrect. Bandai Visual, in cooperation with P.A. Works' producers as well as Lantis have coordinated a revival of the brand over the past couple of months. During that time, Bandai Visual re-authored their BD-Box and made available to the general public in a "standard release." The previous version was only available through Bandai Visual's site if they obtained 2,000 pre-orders. Said site did not report sales to Oricon, so there was no public knowledge of sales (or Oricon's "estimates") until today.
As for your comparison between shows, what do you mean? Average sales? 2-cour series are known for having a bigger drop off near the end due to 8-9 volumes from Oricon's numbers. We do not know the true amount of any of those title's sales, so it's a meaningless comparison. This was a good success for a re-release, but that's all it really means.
