So nmixx already outsold itzy? Why?

It caught my attention that nmixx already surpassed 320k albums sold on hanteo, according to the updates thread here. So I looked up itzy sales and it surprised me their best selling on hanteo is below that number

How did that happen?

This thread isn't a drag or made to shade the girls, I'm just really curious because based on my experience online, I think itzy has a bigger fandom in korea, japan and internationally. Even their debut was more hyped. So why did nmixx debut already sold more than their best selling album?

Btw I'm not mentioning the gaon difference because there's no update for nmixx yet and they don't have US distribution like itzy

And the blind package could influence nmixx sales but so did itzy individual covers and special edition, so "number of versions" or "gimmicks" aren't enough reasons

You don’t like when people talk about your favs but will make these threads setting up both groups I see

I stan Joy since debut and made a thread asking the same thing, why Wendy sold more than her. This isn't about faves or not, I'm just curious

And actually reveluvs were very nice and explained the reasons, nobody fought or insulted others, why should it be different this time?

Itzy doesn’t have a very high % of ppl who will buy album or be hardcore fan like bp twice or even aespa do

But a rookie gg already do? maybe they attract more hardcore stans than multis

I don't know why but why is it always a SM stan always trying to stir sh*t? when Nmixx's debut song was leaked several threads were made by SM stans about that and now you guys are trying to pit Nmixx and itzy against each other?

Not me being accused of being a SM stan lol

And like I said, I made the same thread about red velvet members before, does that make me a hybe stan, a blink, an once??? You guys first response is accusing others of being antis with evil agendas when its just a simple question

That user loves to call anyone who stans an SM group an SM stan

It's so funny, because i actually like more jyp groups than SM's lol now anybody questioning anything related to jyp is an SM stan
