....Answer me this, do you really think when someone is announcing a relatively high end new architecture when one of us is wondering about it that the first or even second thing we think about is sales volume? Yeah, obviously that matters but unless it's so bad compared to its' competition it looks like a turd baking in the sun AMD and NVIDIA are very safe from going out of business despite years of worries rightfully so about AMD faltering a bit...but still I defy you to tell me the first thing on a tech geek consumers mind is "Gee wonder if this new product will sell?" I can almost guarantee you first question is how well does it perform? or How efficient is it? or How hot does it run? So the point IS NOT whether sales/market etc is discussed for it IS but the fact that as consumers anxiously awaiting a new product how it sells is not first thing we will think of, maybe not even the 3rd or 4th thing unless we work for Nivida or AMD.
NOT to mention only way you can discuss how well it sells is....how does it perform? How does it perform versus other cards? How efficient is it? etc....So you can't even answer that question without answering all the others first! Unless you just wonder how well the marketing team will blow smoke up our ass so the facts and specs of the cards are totally obfuscated to the point facts don't matter and hype and BS and pretty buzz words will sell it despite however it actually performs.
