  I figure they sold so much because they are told to shop and being good citizens they followed orders. In the USA people can shop at their leisure. There is no demand they celebrate being single so they deserve to treat themselves on a particular day of the year.

  A better indicator would be yearly sales. One most also take into account the AMZN was not allowed to compete in China. It is the reason Alibaba exists, Jack Ma is no genius,
