Industry Sales Discussions

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-04-28/madoka-magica-1-sells-22000-as-no.1-selling-january-anime-bd "The first Blu-ray Disc volume of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica television anime series sold about 22,000 copies on its first day on Oricon's daily Blu-ray Disc ranking chart on April 27."

They talk about the DVD sale rankings but no number is given on DVD sales.

Naruto movie > Madoka > Kuroshitsuji Last Naruto movie sold around 22k in total. Last Kuroshitsuji volume sold around 7k. Assuming the trend subsist, the actual number should be somewhere between those two. 2chan speculated around 10-12k this week.

And here are Madoka's final BD sales estimation

下限　　　　　　　中央　　　　　　上限

78053　79747　81372　82930　84472

So according to this, the lowest it can hit is 78,053...damn. Although, the one who posted this noted that UC3 was 10% lower than its "lowest limit". http://www.mania.com/aodvb/showthread.php?p=1936364#post1936364

Google-translation: Eva

• Volume 01 12,479 VHS
• Volume 01 18,040 LD
• 30,519 total (first initial volume)
• Volume 14 36,617 VHS
• Volume 14 44,013 LD

Note those are first week data only. Numbers for the last volume are more important, since apparently the show wasn't at its peak popularity yet when the first volume came out.
