The original poster makes a good point. A phone that sells more will have more support in regards to apps and accessories... so sales DO matter. Try to relax there Louie.

Samsung definitely knows. If they didn't, they wouldn't be in business.


Physical device, yes. But they certainly would have the ability to track inventory carefully. You'd be surprised at the amount of information shared between retailers and vendors.



Channel checks aren't a valid way of measuring sales, or stock, at least in the way these analysts do it. They would have to check a wide swath of stores across the US (we're talking hundreds, if not thousands of them) for the results to be statistically relevant.



Because there's definitely a large number of devices in warehouses right now, or sitting in stores. Only, the only people that know how many exactly, are Samsung and the retailers. Too many devices sitting in those places are not a good thing, which is why samsung will never say how many there are. (Just like apple or HTC won't either)



No, not at all. Nowhere did I say that, but nice try attempting to stir stuff up.

Look, the S4 is selling. We know its selling. A lot. But analysts rarely, if ever, peg sales correctly. All this 'analysis' was meant to do was drive the stock price up. Like everything of this sort, its a guess of what the S4 may sell. It ignores the effect of competitors like the iPhone in the fall, and unknowns like the next iOS. I would expect these projections to be altered down after WWDC and the new iOS is unveiled. It's what always happens when analysts guess using things not based in fact.


Factual needs to be in quotes, because even this is not factual. It's a guess.



Ah yes, there's the inevitable dig. At least this time you're not pretending like you're interested in an impartial conversation.

There have been three recent posts about sales of galaxy S4s and you have replied negatively in each one. You dispute the sales figures, the source of the information and the motives of the posters in the thread.. Why?

Who cares what it sells?

I'm not making a dime off of it so why should I care?

In a sense I agree with you, In a sense I do.

I can take a HTC EVO LTE as a good example why I should care, the phone dropped like a anchor in water, $160 now off contract. I don't even see last year HTC One models selling for anything while the S3 is still selling close to 300 used and I'm on Sprint.

More support, more accessories, higher resale value.

But I completely see your point, this isn't something I'll wake up looking forward too either.
Sales mean nothing

Glad to see I'm not the only one who sometimes starts typing in the middle of a quote

I can remember having the captivate and SGSII etc and it would take weeks upon weeks to get good cases etc. Everthing was iphone, iphone, iphone. I actually had my seidio surface combo in my hands when my S4 arrived at my door on May 13.

Does the overall sales matter? Maybe not for choosing a device but for getting quality and timely accessories? Yes it does!

I play no games on my phones. Nexus 7 and ipad 4 for that!

Same here all my games on my tablet... And I carry it everywhere

Clearly you care if you felt the need to comment on it.
