I remember many years ago people have crunched the math, the childhood friend archetype wins out way more often than people think. It's a case of apples to oranges when compared to "first girl wins" because one is an archetype that revolves around the type of relationship to the protagonist, the other is based on when they are introduced. The two often overlap, the childhood friend being the first one introduced and established to be the heroine, thus the obvious one fated to win out the scenario in the long run.
