Umm isn't that just on the date it airs? That's like comparing it to the people who read the book in the first month (year?).
There is no way as many people read the books as saw the tv show. I would bet it's at least one order of magnitude difference, if not possibly more.
- DeusExMachina 5y agoSince your premise is that there is no way to know, your speculation is then as (in)valid as any other.
- Naracion 5y agoOn the contrary, edanm's premise is that the number of viewers cited in the parent comment was the number of viewers on the day of release, and the number of book sales mentioned was cumulative. If that premise holds, then probabilistically speaking it'd be very safe to say that more people have consumed the visual media than the literary media.
