Which just makes my point:
Apple has 18% market share but gets 80% of the industry's profits--Samsung has 24% market share and makes only 15%. And the rest of the smartphone vendors fight over 5%.
Given that companies are in business to make money, not for bragging rights, the bottom line and the proper metric for success is total *profits*.
*How* you make the money is secondary to the fact that you *are* making money. The rest is for cheerleaers.
