I don't think you understood my point. I was saying I would not be surprised if Symbian in 2011 was selling more units than Windows Phone in 2013.

For example, just from press reports that I can find on Google, Nokia sold 20 million Symbian phones in Q4 2011, and 4.4 million Windows Phones in Q4 2012.

Yeah that was what I understood. However, I was just giving an example of a Non-US market where that were not true :)

That's true, but you have to also considerate the tendency:

At that moment it looks like Symbian was running out of gas.
