A general accounting question...do all companies count revenue the same way for scenarios like:

- Product is purchased by store.

- Customer actually buys product.

- Customer returns product.

- Unsold product is returned by store.

In other words, I don't know how to compare this to anything else because I don't know if it's counting units that didn't reach real customers, or if the announcement would be a lot different two weeks from now after some people return their Christmas presents?
