No we should not - as there is no good reason to unless you are trying to support a n agenda that facts don t support -  look into occams razor ( sp) perhaps 

Someone at Nintendo "projected" the wii u would sell 100 million   So if we changed the meaning of the word "projection" to "sell" then wouldn t that make The Wii U the best selling console this generation?   

Occam's razor really doesn't have much to do with this.  One way may be simpler, but that doesn't necessarily mean more accurate.  Occam's razor is like Murphy's Law.  It's a good rule of thumb, but it's not an absolute. 

As for the reason, let's take this example.

For argument's sake, let's say Pokemon Go is the only game in the Pokemon franchise.  Ten year's from now, it has sold one trillion dollars worth of content through microtransactions off of 100 billion downloads.

Meanwhile, there is a game called "Ducky ducky quack quack 5000" that I made in my basement.  I sold 3 copies at ten cents each.

Which is the better selling franchise?
