Angelique Retour sales, what nebulous info we have (ETA: Famitsu data)

(12/27 Note: Edited a bit to add elaboration on the significance of certain factors and the sales estimate I stupidly failed to include initially (which darkheart covered below before me); more yammering.)

(12/27 ETA 2: Famitsu data.)

Here is the source of said info: the Media Create sales rankings. I'm going to post this image for posterity,

I'm assuming they're showing the number of copies sold. Considering the closest figure we have (Zelda at about 10.5K) I suppose we can assume Retour sold about 9500-10000 copies. Not bad for only a half a week of sales, but I'm willing to guess it's not what Koei was hoping. I'm positive the price had a lot to do with it. A decent number of sales, but it's a shame it didn't do better.

Well, yeah. The question is, what are they counting: only physical? Downloads too? (Tracking downloadables vs. retail has traditionally been an issue in tabulating game sales.) How do sales on the PSP fit in? Media Create ain't telling - at least, not on their website.
