No no, please don't be confused by the Negima numbers. That's a totally different story altogether, since you're talking about a manga bundle that includes a bonus DVD, and for a franchise that traditionally sells tens (hundreds?) of thousands of copies a volume in print form. It has absolutely no bearing here. None of the Negima TV series or standalone OVA releases sold anywhere close to that amount. For a late-night otaku anime to sell 50,000 units per volume at these prices would be nothing short of a miracle. Haruhi is the only things in years that's even come close.
