First Day Sales of Evangelion 2.22 Exceeds 300K

The first day official sales for the Blu Ray and DVD sales for Evangelion 2.22 has exceeded expectation, with 124,000 DVDs and 195,000 Blu-ray sold, accounting for around 320,000 combined sales. This totally exceeds the first day sales of the former best selling anime Blu-Ray, the first volume of Kidou Senshi Gundam (UC) which sold around 56,000 copies. It also broken the record of the most Blu-Ray sold, formerly held by Michael Jackson’s This is It, which was around 122,000 copies.
This means that it could beat the record for blu-ray sales in Japan, which is currently also held by This is It, at 350,000 copies. It has already beaten Evangelion 1.11 as the most successful anime blu-ray sold ever. The record held by Evangelion 1.11 was a measly 125,000 copies.
