For Nokia to sell even a million of these, they would have to produce a million of them. If you believe they will produce a million units, you are, sir, the only one person in the world who does so.

Nokia isn't selling this phone, they're hiding it. You claim it's being sold throughout Europe. Not throughout Western Europe, it isn't.

Amazon sells throughout Europe. Let's compare.
There's an Amazon.co.uk - UK is missing from the Availability list.
There's an Amazon.fr - France is missing from the Availability list.
There's an Amazon.it - Italy is missing from the Availability list.
There's an Amazon.de - Germany is missing from the Availability list.

Okay, so in no EU market large enough to be mentioned on Amazon.eu. How about the rest of the world?

There's an Amazon.com - USA is missing from the Availability list.
There's an Amazon.ca - Canada is missing from the Availability list.

HIT: Oh, Amazon.cn might one day sell the N9. If you're comfortable ordering in Chinese.

There are 196 countries in the world, including South Sudan and Taiwan. The N9 Availability list holds 24 countries.

There's no North America, there's hardly any Western Europe, there's no India, there's no Africa, they're not going to put it out for sale here in my puny little northern country, and guess what...

They aren't calling it an iPhone killer. There's your hint right there. There's not even a viral marketing campaign going on.
You missed the point. You are also wrong, that list only contain a small fraction of the total countries the N9 is sold. The point was (and still is), WP-Nokia has to sell like no other newcomer has ever done before in the history of mobile phones, to have a fighting chance to sell more than the N9 - and - the second point was that the N9 will be introduced to much more people than WP-Nokia.

They will produce the number of N9s according to the demand. Nokias WP aren't even produced by Nokia. They have more production capacity for the N9 than WP many times over. Just because you aren't capable of having several thoughts in your head at the same time, doesn't mean Nokia has this restriction.
