Even an IDN new TLD makes this week’s end user sales list.
Sedo sold $1 million worth of domain names last week, including some notable new TLDs.
One of these new TLD sales was even an IDN.IDN — a very rare sale to cross the charts. Nikon bought its name translation in a Chinese IDN for $6,800.
The other two new TLDs were in .cloud and .training. Reputation.management also sold for $15,000, but I’m not certain it was to an end user. (I recall reading on a blog recently that the seller paid $3,000 for the domain during Early Access, but I can’t find the post.)
Here are some end user domain name purchases I discovered.

Xair.com $8,500 – Air conditioning company Trox Technik.
WaterFiltersDirect.com $3,199 – the domain has whois privacy, but the owner already has a web store up. The top of the page really mimics Amazon.com, doesn’t it?

Why would Nikon do that when dot org and dot club are available.
I guess most Japanese know nothing about domains.

To ensure access to China should China lock of other extensions. Set up a site in China aimed at the chinese market following all the rules the chinese government opts for and they secure their presence

Sorry, you lost me.
Why dot World?
For your logic to hold a CNNIC domain would make more sense.
