Someanithing is blaming Oricon for the inconsistencies, as well as Amazon for making things complicated since they have their own editions of many anime releases.

The three tiles released on 9/23 that made the dailies seem to be perfectly fine: Charlotte, Nantai, and Kimiuso all have sales that either seem totally reasonable (Charlotte being storefront heavy and/or moving a lot of units after release day isn’t too shocking) or that are directly in line with previous volumes (Nanatai and Kimiuso didn’t have unrealistic drops).
Meanwhile everything from 9/25-26 was beaten bloody. Dermeas, TLRD2, Overlord, Kinmosa, Gakkou Gurashi, Illya, Kuroko, Seraph, Koufuku, and so on. In some cases sales seem in the realm of sanity, but that’s for low sellers where even a modest percentage drop is small in absolute terms and thus hard to evaluate (like, is Yuki-chan’s 1.8k > 1.4k drop natural or part of this issue? Could go either way).
One good, simple test to see determine if this is true would be if Deremas and/or Overlord rank higher than Charlotte on Soundscan’s rankings. If they do, then this hypothesis is almost certainly correct. While Oricon and Soundscan do differ, they don’t differ *enough* for Deremas or Overlord’s 4.xk to beat Charlotte’s 6.xk BDs purely due to normal differences between the trackers. It would have to be indicative of Oricon missing a significant portion of sales, and would line up with the 9/23 vs 9/25 idea.

Apparently, this happened with G-Reco.
By the way, Something has already posted links for Soundscan stats.
