It's also why I don't trust sales figures on individual products from companies with a portfolio. Sales tend to get credited to products that the company wants to show as gaining traction while really the favored product was an add-on to a bundle of established products that had their license renewed.

They have controls to prevent gaming that internally, although obviously not 100% effective.
