Why is Samsung Ativ Odyssey outperforming Lumia 822 on Verizon?

[jridgers]

According to figures I copied from another thread for Best Buy sales figures (for the week of 11/10/13) the Ativ Odyssey is out pacing the Lumia 822 on Verizon. Any thoughts as to why this is happening? I thought the Lumia devices would out perform the Samsung devices.

Verizon (80 phones offered)
57. Nokia Lumia 928 Black (55. a week ago, 60. a month ago)
58. Nokia Lumia 928 White (64. a week ago, 67. a month ago)
68. Samsung Ativ Odyssey (66. a week ago, 69. a month ago)
69. Nokia Lumia 822 White (67. a week ago, 70. a month ago)
70. Nokia Lumia 822 Black (50. a week ago, 71. a month ago)
HTC 8X Blue is not offered
HTC 8X Black is not offered

It's really not even a big enough margin to be taking anything into consideration. They're basically neck and neck with another Lumia ahead of both of them.

I am shocked this little guy is selling at all.

However, I am more then positive that over the life of these devices it isn't even closse. The L822 was advertised and was in that first wave of WP8 devices 2 advantages the Odyssey never had. I am sure a 10-1 sales ratio is a modest guess, and it probably isn't even that close.
