I managed to dig up Oricon sales from 2011, and the sales were accumulated overtime and not frontload. (This is actually quite the norm for Korean releases in Japan). And sales for The Boys on Oricon is actually 107K
October: 6,494
November: 55,760
December (1st week): 4,381
But I have to say, I was wrong with December 2011 sales, the reason for high sales during December was because SM released a repackaged version, The Boys (Mr. Taxi version) hence the surge in sales. I hope these clear things up.

Just to dig this post up from earlier today; The Boys did sell 600k.
Your logic is flawed & your receipts are wrong.
This 107k in Japan doesn't include sales of the repackage album Mr. Taxi, where it charted on the DVD charts instead of the Albums chart (it had a DVD with music videos in addition to the CD).
SNSD's Hoot album was also distributed by Universal Music in Japan, just like The Boys was.
It sold 171,294 on Oricon and only 192,375 on Gaon.
By your methods, that means the Hoot mini album (a Korean album, at that) sold 171,294 copies in Japan and only 21,081 copies in the rest of the world.
Doesn't take a genius to figure out that's wrong.

She really seems like the life of the group though.
