Bob Woodward, reviewing for "The Washington Post", regarded the book as "a great spy novel" which "rivals Clancy's "The Hunt for Red October", surpasses his "Red Storm Rising" and runs circles around his "Patriot Games"".

Sustained decline began in 2004, in line with print journalism as a whole, and in the six-year period from 2012-18 it lost more than a million copies from its daily figures.

The NYT stated it was not counted because it was published by a Canadian company. According to Random House Canada, the book was handled properly for the U.S. market. American conservative commentator Dennis Prager wrote an article for "National Review" titled "The Times Best-Seller List: Another Reason Americans Don't Trust the Media" in which contends that the issue with Peterson's book, as well his "The Rational Bible: Exodus", is their conservative context and the lack of inclusion is the American mainstream media's manipulation.

An attempt in 2016 to create a dedicated North-focused national newspaper, "24", failed after six weeks. Across Northern England as a whole, "The Sun" is the best selling newspaper, but the ongoing boycott around Merseyside following the newspaper's coverage of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster has seen the paper fall behind both the "Daily Mail" and the "Daily Mirror" in the North West. In general national readership in the North drags behind that of the South; the "Mirror" and the "Daily Star" are the only national papers with more readers in Northern England than in the South East and London. Local newspapers are the top-selling titles in both the North East and Yorkshire and the Humber, although Northern regional newspapers have seen steep declines in readership in recent years. Only seven daily Northern papers have circulation figures above 25,000 as of June 2016: "Manchester Evening News", "Liverpool Echo", "Hull Daily Mail", "Newcastle Chronicle", "The Yorkshire Post" and "The Northern Echo".

When discussing the delay until October 2018, a writer from "Forbes" said "A huge arrival for ["Red Dead Redemption 2"] could be a crater that dampens sales of all competitors in that window, so I have to imagine this shockwave is being felt pretty hard right now around the industry." In July 2018, The NPD Group, a market research company, published an article titled ""Video Game Industry Predictions for Holiday 2018"", where author and industry analyst Mat Piscatella predicted that "Red Dead Redemption 2" would be the best-selling game of 2018, outselling other blockbuster titles like "", "Battlefield V", and "Fallout 76".
