They wouldn’t happen either if people could stop and think for a second to understand that hyperbole isn’t literal, and that “nobody bought it” clearly means “its sales performance was well under expectations”.

The hyperbole is still dumb and unnecessary even in this context, considering stats such as debuting at #2 in the UK. It may have sold below the inflated corporate expectations, but it still sold a respectable amount.
