Easy example here for people using the total sales number to justify a comeback: If a hockey team begin winning in a streak all year long. But the same hockey team perform badly for the last 10 years. Its only before those 10 years that they were good. Can we say its a comeback even if they have not more than the total win of the other teams?

Hell yes thats what we would say. They were good, then bad, then very good again. Thats exactly what we call a comeback whatever the total numbers of win or sales.
