Viera didn't blow up as big as we all thought.

[Jijifli]

Au ra did blow because everyone had a free fantasia, and this time only the one who did buy the fantasia did change.

HW did not come with a free fantasia. Collectors edition comes with a fantasia.

So while that is a factor, I wouldn't call it free. Nor an "everyone" case either since not everyone got collectors.
