See, the problem with arguing stats is that the person you are arguing with can claim any particular number is the most important, or is irrelevant. For instance,you get posts like this saying market share isn't important, it's all about profits. But then if talk turns to the iPad, where Apple still has a market share lead, suddenly tablet market share stats are being trotted out.

When Android becomes more profitable than the iPhone, then the new hot metric will be profit per phone, or customer satisfaction, or something else that is favorable to Apple.
