If Pluto is going to say f(x) makes better music than Generic releasing SNSD and EXO (hello boy group!111!) then why can't their sales be compared? I fail to understand why comparing has to be on your terms.
The Seo In Guk comparison not only doesn't make sense, but it's just stupid. Seo In Guk is NOT an idol group like VIXX. Not even worth the time explaining anything else about that awful analogy.
Why are you trying to put f(x) into a limited category. I said f(x) doesn't sell all that well and you keep saying "THEY SELL WELL FOR AN XXX" "COMPARED TO XXX" etc.etc.
So basically, f(x)'s sales only look good when compared to people who obviously sell less than them? Ok we already knew that. Congratulations on pointing out the obvious. Another obvious point you could have made is f(x) debuted in SM so their physical sales are bound to be at least decent, and that's exactly what their physical sales are, decent. Nothing impressive in the big picture, and definitely nothing impressive when compared to other SM acts. ONLY impressive when comparing to other girl groups.
Should we also go into their digital sales? f(x) in their 5 years of being active has only had ONE Top 10 year end hit song and that was the same year Gaon got messy and when DA's decreased in the later half of the year and gave songs released earlier a HUGE benefit on the year end chart.
Danger - #6 Year End
Electric Shock - #29 Year End
Hot Summer - #25 Year End
Nu ABO - #26 Year End
Rum Pum Pum Pum - Not even in Top 100 Year End
But Ok, keep clinging to those half-decent albums sales (BUT GOOD FOR A GIRL GROUP!!!111!!1)
and weak digital sales to claim f(x) sells well. They totes do

Uhh cuz "quality of music" is fair on both genders but "sales" quite frankly isn't?
Oh let me look at 20 most sold albums of 2013
I fail to spot any female acts other than SNSD?
Top 30? only SNSD?
If the Seo In Guk comparison doesn't make any sense, here's a better one:
AOA and CNBlue
One may or may not say AOA makes better music but are we really going to compare their
physical sales?
Why wouldn't I put f(x) in a limited category which is the game they're playing in

f(x) is a FEMALE IDOL and for a FEMALE IDOL, their physical sales are good.
If I say EXO are local flops, they can't even outsell Frozen or Beyonce

and if you tell me that doesn't make any sense, would I be saying "why the **** are you putting EXO in a limited category"?
Jesus Christ, why wouldn't I be comparing f(x)'s sales with other girl groups

x100
It's not like they're consisted of 5 males
Oh so since both Gentleman and Gangnam Style topped the end of year charts, it must mean those 2 songs were clearly the best Kpop songs of those 2 years right?
