'I’m sorry, but you’re asking me questions about sales using data that isn’t right–so every aspect of your question is immediately in doubt.' ...okay. So let's go for vagueness. If a book sold 100k and dropped 30% is that better or worse than a book selling 200k and dropped 50%? What is more important, for a book's success? The actual units sold, or the decline at which is drops? If Spider-Gwen dropped 66% down to 100k, is that worse than a book which maintains a steady 50k.
In any given month? What’s the most important is the number of copies that you sell. The people who are arguing about sales decline are making the argument that, at some point in the future, the sales will be worse. But that only works if the decline remains a constant, which it rarely does, and it also doesn’t take into account the greater sales for all of the preceding months.
