AFAIK Samsung only quote units shipped (into the sales channel) rather than sold (to customers) and whilst personally, my days of pointing at a screen with a little stick are long past, if people want that then it's good to have the choice I guess. Never seen one in the wild though.

So shouldn't we demand that the manufacturers make decent quality devices instead of just leaving out items? Besides, it is not easy to lose a pen when it has a good slot inside the housing. I never lost mine on such a device (and on those screens anything could be used to control the screen). And let us take the case of the Galaxy Note. In case you do lose the stylus, even if you don't get a new one, the device is still as good as a device that came without stylus in the first place!
In Asia the Samsung note is all over the place. It is an absolute hit among the Chinese since many of them prefer handwriting input over keyboards.
