The difference is he works for a company that in his best interest - since it’s not a legal financial statement - to do a public relations statement in that interview

He answered the question a journalist asked. He is in the best position to know the answer. If sales were poor he would have stopped at " we do not disclose sales info".  When PEN-F sales did not meet expectation, spokesperson said so.

and I am pointing to you real world performance data that while it doesn’t have unit numbers can show the trend

You are generating hypothetical. You have not divulged a single piece of actual data that contradicts what Masanori Sako said in interview.

the offer on em1mkiii and em1x being given away at pretty much the same price points again to further problems in that direction - and as I said I am not the only one who noticed

That was much later than when interview took place. Most will prefer the compact EM1mkIII with enhanced Eye-AF and starry sky AF. The price point has nothing to do with how it pairs with discounted lenses.  We do not know what it costs to make a EM1X or EM1mkIII.

But looks like we are going in circles and you think that a company that lied about selling its division, went through an accounting scandal and not questioning for a second anything said in that interview as not necessarily true is not an issue

It is whataboutism. You attempt to discredit an individual with accesses to the very data you pretend to have by attacking the company he works for. Answer this.  If your employer at some point in time has made false or misleading statement. Then everything you say as employee is not trust worthy. Fair enough?

I appreciate being civil.  At this point it is the word of a senior level marketing exec at the company in question vs a person with a keyboard and no first hand knowledge.  This is not an equal position from which to make declarative statements about sales.
