Working S2 sales are pretty much in line with S1 sales. That wasn't a surprise for me - that one was what I'd guessed would happen. Tropes and content-wise, I get why Horizon has sold what it has - but I don't think I'll ever understand why.

Anyways, since it's now 2012, some official/reliable tallies of average sales per volume for any 2011 title that averaged over 10k all the way through its release or is still being released:

- Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica = 71,005. Lies at #2 on the list for average sales per volume for the 2000-present period. Bakemonogatari holds #1.

- Persona 4 = 33,915 (2 volumes). #15 on the list.

- Infinite Stratos = 33,706. #16 on the list.

- AnoHana = 31,283. #17 on the list.

- Tiger & Bunny = 27,743 (8 volumes). #20 on the list.

- Idolmaster (with Gravure for You Bundle for most copies) = 23,587 (2 volumes). This one is a bit iffy - the majority of Idolmaster anime volumes were purcahsed along with the Gravure for You game. So it's hard to tell whether the game fuelled most of the sales or if they will persist without the game. Currently #27 on the list but that will likely change.

- Horizon = 19,544 (1 volume). #34 on the list, likely to change since most shows drop after the first volume.

- Uta no Prince-Sama = 16,191 (4 volumes). #42 on the list.

- Steins;Gate = 16,097 (7 volumes). #44 on the list.

- Working S2 = 14,405 (3 volumes). #51 on the list. (For the record, Working S1 averaged 17,695)

- Gintama = 13,594 (6 volumes). #59 on the list.

- Blue Exorcist = 13,572 (7 volumes). #60 on the list.

- Natsume Yujinchou S3 = 10,151. #87 on the list.

2000-present list now contains 91 titles that have cracked the 10k mark. 2011 had 13 titles in that category, tying it with 2008 for the most number of shows cracking 10k for a single year. However, the average sales per volume of all the 2011 titles (24,984) is higher than the 2008 ones (12,684) by a big margin. Revenue figures from several timepoints also indicate 2011 is a record year for the industry as a whole.

Movie/OVA figures sales figures I was able to find of significant sales:

Arriety - 321,375
Gintama movie - 119,121
Gundam Unicorn #3 - 176,311
Gundam Unicorn #4 - 100,425 on BD (not complete because DVD sales of this volume seem hard to find. BD sales had a 13k difference so I'd assume UC4s total was around the 150-160k mark)
Haruhi Disappearance movie - 101,704
Gundam 00 movie - 79,783
