With Market being the number of individual customers. Correct me about being wrong, but it's possible that I can buy 2 Nike shoes. Does that mean Nike should count me twice as a marketshare? If I buy 5 PS2 does that increase the marketshare? Just because I bought 5 PS2, that doesn't mean I'm going to buy a game 5 times. If this is the reason. Then There is a difference between marketshare and sales. I admit though 5 PS2 was only an extreme case of 1 of my friends. Most of my friends only owned 3. Net Income, companies should always focus on making money. It's how big companies are born. |
Marketshare is sales of one company divided by the total market. If I sell 2 shos, and there have been 10 shoes sold, then I have 20% market share. If you know the total and each companie's share, you can find their sales. They are dirrectly related. Because they are intertwined like this, there is no point in asking which one is better since they both show the same results.
