What is your point exactly? I'm pretty certain the carriers do their homework before placing orders. They don't want a ton of inventory just sitting on their shelves. So the carriers expect to sell them and Samsung did sell them (doesn't matter who bought them).
- tvon 14y agoThe point is it doesn't matter how many units they sell to Best Buy, what matters is how many units they sell to consumers. This happens all the time, we hear about X millions of units "shipped" only to find out months later that a small fraction of those actually made it into consumers hands.
- bsphil 14y agoGiven the incredible popularity of the GS2 among the Android community, I'd say it's not unreasonable to think the GS3 will sell well.
- bradleyland 14y agoNo one is saying it won't sell well. They're saying that reporting carrier orders as "sales pre-orders" lacks an important detail. Thus, some are calling bullshit on the headline.
- lmm 14y agoThere might well be a term that says they can return unsold stock.
