You do realise any company who bring out a new product are only focused on sales, and MarketShare isn't as important when you can sell more than you did last year but have less MarketShare? The Kindle Fire sold more than it did in 2012, and it's a budget tablet not a flagship premium one like Samsung's.

And the MarketShare also changes throughout the year. After 2012's Christmas. Amazon had 33% MarketShare whereas Samsung only had 9%. And yet who came out on top in the end?

In my original argument in the first place, I mentioned that the Kindle Fire AND THE IPAD focus on media rather than the OS, something that Samsung could take not of if they want to own the tablet industry as well.

Their Note focuses on Productivity which is awesome, but the Galaxy Tab 3 is dismal for a flagship tablet. It has a standard OS with Google Play and that's it. I was talking about how Amazon and the iPad have found success with focusing on Media (and the B&N tablet), and I think that's the way to go with Samsung's tablet. Just because the only tablet I see people with now from them is the Note 10.1 and that's good, but it just means their major tablet no one is buying as much.

Because you do realise that Amazon have basically haven't flopped, and brought out a tablet out of the blue that did well, rather than work their way into the industry like Samsung or even Google had to do. Yes, they aren't a huge success but the fact that so many people were interested and that they haven't been put under the "Other" category when it comes to sales and share, is amazing. Their sales are still increasing, and it's only been two years since they have been in the industry.

They had a bigger start than Samsung and yet Samsung are only seeing major success now, probably due to the Note line-up which to me is amazing.

Let go of your 2012 receipts. You can post an essay saying that Samsung doesn't focus on OS and whatnot, but that certainly didn't stop them from almost quadrupling the Kindle sales. Amazon, "focusing on the media" (which doesn't even make sense since Samsung always focuses on the media too) lost a LOT of buyers and it sold only 2 million more kindles in the 2013 than in the 2012, while android as a whole more than doubled it's sales. Stop saying Samsung needs to take notes from a decaying tablet that people are losing interest on, and the ACTUAL receipts prove that, not a 2012 random chart you found on bing images. Not even going to bother with your baseless posts anymore.

The receipts were comparing 2012 to 2013, in which they improved

How were Samsung doing two years into the tablet market?

How can a tablet be decaying when it's sold more than it did the previous year

The chart was from 2013

Android as a whole did double in sales, my point was the Galaxy Tab 3 in general, isn't doing as well as it should, and since the iPad and the Kindle have found success with media, they should incorporate those things for the Galaxy Tab 3. The Note 10.1 incorporates fantastic productivity elements, yet the Tab 3 is failing because it's just a standard tablet with Google Play.
I'm not saying that Amazon boosted the Android market now, but I did when I could only find the piechart, but I changed my statement since then. My point is now that the Kindle Fire is outselling the Galaxy Tab 3 and that's supposed to be Samsung's main tablet. People are buying the Note instead, because the Tab 3 just isn't doing it's job properly.

It's funny how you act like I asked you to "bother" with my posts, when I didn't. I'm obviously hitting close to home I it forces you to reply. Everything I've said in this thread has basically been fact that no one could reply on, and now you're going after my opinion instead that the Galaxy Tab line should incorporate more media elements, like the Note incorporated more Productivity elements because the iPad and Amazon have seen benefit from it

And to give you an idea, the Galaxy Tab 2 sold around 2M from the 7" and that was the best selling variant.

That's true. I mean the I love the Note series. But the rest is very average.
But she can't even rebut to sales now. Instead it's now an argument based on an opinion that the Galaxy Tab 3 should focus on media, because just being a general Android tablet (especially since it's dual core, lasts 6 hours and has the same screen resolution as the iPad 1

is just dismal for their major flagship tablet line.

I mean the Galaxy Tab 2 was great for a standard tablet but in 2013 the Tab 3 falls short by heaps.
The Note series focuses on productivity, the Tab series focuses on nothing.
