Of course it has sold more, it has way more novels released, so that goes without saying. I mean c'mon, you don't see someone go Anime series A sold 13 volumes x 10,000 so a better seller than anime series B which sold 6 volumes x 21,000.
And all Japanese companies used shipped numbers since sold to supplier = sold to them, but it doesn't mean sold to consumer. See manga circulation numbers, something like Assassination Classroom should be selling a million copies per volume but Oricon shows that vol 4 is going to finish around 650k at its current rate.
Don't you remember the Hidan no Aria website saying crap like 2 million sold when the anime started and Oricon had volume 1 at like 90k....
