It is implied though - if we speculate that most people go to buy an iPhone it sort of implies that iPhone is what people want (people generally want the best) and if they end up with something else it is the second best. No?
- graeme 14y agoI don't believe the second theory said "most". The author just said some people will go to buy a new iPhone, find it out of stock, and buy an S3 instead.
- blinkingled 14y agoNot to belabor but he claimed it was a common occurence - for it to be a common occurence enough to contribute meaningfully towards the increase in S3 sales the number of people would have to approach most :)
- Steko 14y agoNo. It implies that's what a significant number of people want. I don't even know how you can argue against the simple logic of it. Millions of people walk into the store looking for a Galaxy S, they get a Galaxy S. Some other millions walk in looking for an iphone and can't buy one but can buy any of 10 other phones. Some of them will end up waiting, some will end up not buying anything, some will end up buying those other phones. Ergo sales spike. Help me, what part of that doesn't follow?
