So with both Pi and Jin solo now I'm wondering (haters and extremist please don''t kill me) who would sell the most.
Because I am a little into the whole business, marketing economy of things when I look at it the playing field is not quite level for both artists.
Don't get me wrong I'm a fan for both BUT Pi does have a larger fan base (or what I am seeing) in Asia and a significant amount in the USA.
Jin also has Asia but not as many i don't think as Pi BUT he has the US market.
And here is where I start to think of the markets. Sure both artists can sell quite well through sites such as YESASIA and that other one i can't remember at the moment. But Jin will have the harder time in the USA as he is a new artist in a very cut throat market. Many artists think that making it in the US means making it big everywhere else. But thousands of artists and bands debut in indie or in big companies but only one or two will be recognized in a year.
I'm hoping the best for both of them and at a researchers point of view i'm gonna sit on the fence until I see the statistics
and once again please don't kill me for thinking like this -.-
