Yes as opposed to me.....
I've not claimed that the 800's a much better device than the N9, & then not backed that up with a list of features/reasons why.
Yes as opposed to many in this thread, Gerbick & Marxian for e.g. often give very well nuanced rationalizations for their claims.

And still you apparently have some special knowledge that no-one else has.
Which proves unequivocally that the N8 and 800 are selling far better worldwide. And I repeat...
Even if you can it's a flawed argument; device selling better does not directly translate to device is better.
Aside from that you are misconstruing the intent of the thread...
The purpose is to debate why N9/Maemo6x & successors couldn't have been pushed as hard (or similarly) as WP on the high-end.*
Not to state the (potentially) obvious, which is that the 800 is (or will) selling better, & newer phones like 808PV & 900 will be more popular.

No **** the 900's better hw-wise overall (pretty mediocre by the time it's worldwide), & the 808PV's (possibly) even better hw-wise.**
The N9 was never meant to compete with them, by now it would (should?) have had a successor to make it's case against them.
From brief chats I've had with people closely connected to it all, that successor would've used the U8500 or something OMAP4-based.
Who knows what the remainder of it would've looked like, but I daresay the screen would've have improved notably over the N9.
Harmattan team would've grown in size (notably) since Feb 11' not shrunk 70%, & would've had a more concerted marketing/distribution push on it's side.
There would've been more aggressive development programs, & developers would be interested because they'd know that the N950 & N9 aren't dodo's.

*or even exclusively until the 3rd Maemo6x phone had been on the market for a while, & the 1st MeeGo x86 phone had hit shelves.
Which would have been June/July at the very latest.
**depending on which components you place more emphasis on.
