Yukari hasn't got the popularity of Luka, but this does not mean she has no popularity. The contrast between most of the top-half of the Vocaloids isn't too great in terms of overall popularity, Save Miku herself who is crazy popular. The same goes for the half. Often its a matter of a few hundred views per months for the tp ten half a few 10s for the bottom half. :-/

Luka is, however, still more popular then Yukari and has fair more hall of fames. Either way, Yukari is in the top 10 most popular vocaloids anyway, so you can't expect there to be an impact with those who are already a fan of her.

What it REALLY amounts to is product sales, I've said it time and time again popularity is not a sign of a Vocaloids commercial success. SeeU is popular in some parts of the fandom and unpopular in others, and has not done well in terms of sales. Sonika is more popular then Avanna but Avanna is far more successful then Sonika; Sonika has more then twice the number of fan content in addition to Avanna.

Miku, the most popular, ships only 60,000+ in her lifespan of V2. So everyone beneath her sold les then her... The Kagamnes sold half the number in V2 of Miku, that was also confirmed. So we're likely looking at about 30,000 over the course of V2. This amount will go down and down. For a vocaloid to be a failure, the lowest amount it had to sell was 1,000+ units, of which Kaito was a example of this.

Nobody has any doubts Yukari's won't be successful, with the top 10 vocaloids, the impact will be Luka may have cost her 1000 sales in total. She;ll likely to go onto get something like 8,000 or so sales despite this, but its still fustrating for some fans of Yukari I suppose. The more successful a vocaloids previous product, the more likely it will influence their future products. Luka's 1,000+ stolen sales, ergo, can have a slight knock-on effect in that sense.

i made sense right...?
