Nope, Bil told me the sales were about the same as any other vocaloid they had sold, the problem is most of their vocaloids didn't do so well. A lot of the time, popularity among fans doesn't reflect sales figures at all. A lot of issue was Ruby herself wasn't a very good Vocal. There were 5 natives on offer, two are VYs which means their the best and the other from a company who is doing well and has a larger producer sales base. Overall, PowerFX's weakness was their small company and Ruby lost out. A lot of what she can do, Cyber Diva can do better. I know its Giuseppe who said it, but he comments the way her vocal reacts was weird. Overall, I hate to say it, but I don't think Syo made a very good vocaloid at all.

At least we got confirmation the nasal tone was either added during the process of the samples being put into the database (cutting and slicing samples) or because of Vocaloid itself. Confirming in the process the old myth that Vocaloid has no impact on samples. It confirms vocals like Gackpo may be clearer then we think but vocaloid is having a negative impact on his vocal.

I hate "Cyva", there is no vocaloid called that. There is one called "Diva" or "Cyber Diva".

Avanna didn't even have 1 million view song when she became successful. This is the whole point, for the most part we don't know how well the vocaloids do. However, we presume often because of their presence in the fandom they did well. This presumption is incorrect outside of certain vocaloids.
