From MAL's Blu-Ray sales thread(April 23-29)

The nearly 50/50 split in BD and DVD is very interesting. Nice to see AnoNatsu still selling well. |

Unless I am understanding things wrong has the 4th season of Natsume's sales fell (unless it's DVD sales are strong combined with the BR sales)
I am getting worried there won't be a 5th season (not helped by the fact the director said there are no plans at the present time )

Also they were not animating the series out of the goodness of their heart, it was always a good seller with I expect low production costs. But really everyone wants to see their favorites animated to the end (and there are plenty of series I love that only got 1 season) so I don't think I need to be lectured about being grateful because as a fan I god forbid want more.

That is a drop, but it's still plenty enough to be profitable. Plus NY does lots of merch sales as well.
I don't think it's being greedy for fans to want to see the entire manga animated, since we've come this far. I suspect Brain's Base is waiting for the manga to finish, then will announce a 5th and final season. The reason sales dipped a bit is probably because this was by far the shortest gap between seasons.

Edit: Actually it was the same time difference between season 1 & 2 & season 3 & 4. Although I don't believe season 2 was announced during season 1's run. There was of course a much larger gap between seasons 2 & 3.

Indeed, it was that lack of mid-season announcement in S1 that threw me I guess.
Nevertheless, there's no objective measure of fan reaction that indicates S4 was any less well-received than S1 or S2, so I see no reason to leap to the assumption that sales dropped (and not by all that much, really) based on one opinion. Whatever the reason, sales are still more than good enough to justify a continuation.

I didn't see summaries like I did for S1 and S4. You're welcome to browse the ratings thread yourself, though!

I think 8000+ sales is still good for a series like Natsume but it is a drop & when the director himself says there are no plans for more it worries me. But maybe as Guardian Enzo says once the manga is finished we will see more. I am still going to collect the manga to be on the safe side. Thanks for the ratings overview though. The first series did pretty well. It is a shame it didn't keep up with those ratings.

Oricon tabulated VHS sales from Feb 1984 to May 2005, LD sales from Feb 1984 to Jan 2001, and VHD sales from Feb 1984 to Nov 1989. The problem is, they only announced actual sales figures on an annual basis (top 30 anime for VHS and top 100 comprehensive titles for LD) between 1985 and 1998, thus making it impossible to track titles which didn't make it into the yearly charts. Weekly sales data did not appear until Aug 1998, whereas with the advent of DVD, sales figures of the LD and VHS charts were phased out in Jan 2000 and Mar 2002 respectively. I could delve into the database archives and compile and post in the data sticky, but it will take time, and the results would only be a representative find of the myriad titles which were released during that period.
