Yes. But one could argue that 1) regardless of which car you buy, a sale of a Camaro or a Firebird is ultimately a sale for GM.That's like saying there should have never been a GTO, Chevelle, 442, GS, etc. because those could have been Camaro sales, and 2) GM has an advantage with offering you a Camaro or Firebird vs. a Mustang or a Camaro or Firebird vs. a Challenger.

Did Pontiac outsell Chevy every generation? Not even close. Outside of maybe a year or two, the Camaro has outsold the Firebird generation vs generation.
Chevy might have outsold Pontiac, but without cars like the the '74 T/A 455 SDs the muscle car era would have died completely.
