You do know disc sales have been on a decline for awhile, right? Shows make money mainly in other ways, such as heavy merchandise sales. You're also not even considering Japanese TV viewership numbers. So if you were to say a show has "bombed" based on disc sales you'd be saying a ton series that are doing well are bombs. I believe Cells at Work was a generally successful series to the best my knowledge, plus it good reception. That and I don't think every new series has had it's disc release yet.
A great example of low disc sales? My Hero Academia, very low disc sales and it's one of the currently most successful anime in Japan.
Part of this is because collecting discs at this point in time is mainly a collection hobby for a dwindling few as digital downloads and the like take over. Times change, nothing that weird. Also as far as I know anime disc releases in Japan are very expensive, several high costing volumes per show, each volume with only 2-4 episodes.

You are right I think one Blu-ray with 6 episodes cost about 150€ so if show has 24 episodes you have to pay 600 €. I think it is better deal to buy PVC figure for 100-200€. And I think most Europeans and Japanese don't I have Blu-ray readers and all their content they stream from Amazon, CR and Netflix, because most people have high speed internet without data caps.

Yeah, I mean, obviously every series is different, but unlike the old Manabi Line(3k average sales=profit), now it's more like 1000 average sales equals profit because that level of physical media sales, in this market where so few people still do buy physical media, means there was pretty significant interest in the project. This is the opposite of a "Season of bombs", based on this week. Almost everything on this list probably made money.

The first 2 CG movies debuted at 10,400 and 10,200 respectively. The last one ends up being the best selling one. They would have sold more had Taniguchi/Okouchi been allowed to make the true vision of R2 before the executive meddling. Can only hope FnL has no executive meddling. I need to see Kallen naked again among other things.
Come on DxD! I need you to do better. Same for Yuragi-so.
