Question was asked on:

Let's say you're an e-commerce business that wants to sell toothbrushes in China. If you calculated it based on the classic method, you might guess that you could capture 40% of the entire population of China, which is over one billion people. If you sold the toothbrush for one dollar, you could make five hundred and forty million dollars a year. But this overstates the market size and the difficulty of selling a toothbrush to five hundred and forty million people. Alternatively, you should calculate how many toothbrushes you can actually sell every day across all the venues available to you. This not only provides a more accurate number, but it makes you think about the skills and resources you'll need to pull your business off.
