Million name

In the advertisements for the Million Proud (Kokusan kamera no rekishi, p. 172), there is apparently an explanation for the "Million" name: "100万人の愛好者に贈る一躍王座を占めたセミ判決定版". I am a bit puzzled by this sentence, that I would translate by "Definitive edition of the Semi camera that (一躍 = suddenly?) occupied the top (king's) place granted by one million amateurs." This should mean something, but what? It seems impossible that one million Proud cameras were made, even including the prewar ones. There must be an allusion by some vote by more than one million readers of a magazine or something similar, unless I severely misunderstood the sentence. --Rebollo fr 19:06, 8 October 2006 (EDT)
