Only the very biggest manufactures move product over the 10k unit number. As for GW, they are relatively easy to track as they a publicly traded company, they historically went from flat to small growth to a bubble of growth based on the LotR Movie, where LotR sales increased their sales in other lines, then went back to pre-movie sales figures. As a public traded company that is bad news, as expectations are on the Movie Sales levels not the historic. They need their next big thing, but are afraid to spend the Effort and cash to figure it out, following instead of leading.
