"Ghost" sales are solid  GHOST IN THE SHELL placed #22 on VBM's "Top Sellers of the Week" chart, which compares average sales per store for various titles at 7,600 video retailing locations across the US. GHOST has been as high as #4 on this chart during the six weeks it has stayed on the chart. For the week GHOST placed #22, it had sold an average of 9.9 videos per location - if you do your math, this is close to 76,000 videos for the video market alone (for most companies an anime video is considered a smash hit if it exceeds 25,000 videos sold).
