There are various reports that come out over the year. We also hear the chatter from the companies themselves. I also keep a eye on the also notoriously difficult to measure, B and H, #1 Selling and Top Seller rankings.

Put them all together an we do get some insight to how well, a given product may or may not be doing. When we see major discounts, that is usually another sign at times. Outside of newer model version being introduced, usually.

Trungtran only posted a link to the USA Amazon ranking as supposed proof the M system was not selling well. If you would like to compile all of your sources and present some more comprehensive information, that would be great.
