accusations of shilling are not allowed on HN, if you feel somebody is doing so, mail the moderators at [email protected], dont just sling crap at people, especially with such a flimsy premise.

That's non-sequitur. I can't even imagine who you think suls would be shilling for. Are you accusing suls of shilling and asking me to report that for you?

I've merely asked for elaboration and provided a recent article that seems to contradict suls statement. If there's market research indicating that Amazon is winning against Rakuten in Japan, that would be interesting to me.

Yeah, I noticed after posting that I probably should have linked some source to backup my statement.

This is the article I’ve read in January: http://biz-journal.jp/i/2018/01/post_21873_entry.html It seems to be based on this table from said JETRO report: https://netshop-cdn.impress.co.jp/sites/default/files/images...

I wouldn't call Rakuten dead yet, but that is interesting to see Amazon just barely edging them out for the first time. Thanks for the link suls.
