Sorry my bad, I was not clear in what should be obvious, alas, obvious like common sense isn't.

Since we are discussing business models here I incorrectly spoke of US sales since U.S. business models do not work elsewhere in the world for various reasons. I do not lump business here with business overseas. Sorry.

While your figures are 10% variation depending on source I will accept your example for this purpose.

Different horse in the race. I understand why you were confused.
