In fact, we believe we're already the #1 seller of children's products online." The release did not provide any hard data to back up this claim that they are the #1 seller of children's products online.

I'm curious... what kind of hard data would you expect here. Amazon doesn't know the business e-toys is doing other than heresay... which is usually pretty accurate but not really acceptable for a cc... they could disclose their actual numbers of items sold but that isn't wise either since that gives the competition an edge...

I don't quite know how retailers handle this... comments? We never had this problem in technology (disclosing sales/accounts) because when we had them we had them. But we never leaked prospects for fear the competition would get wind of it.
