Apple to take over the living room?

[Oyvoyvoyv]

Maybe not the most informative title on what is inside, but I couldn't come up with any better. Sorry!

Anyway, to the thread.

I can't really see how a serious analyst can predict Apple to take over the electronics market.

I was planning to go through their financial reports, but I found out some guy already had. Lucky me. http://www.systemshootouts.org/

The main point of the thread is the numbers, not my feeling really.

 

Apple Ipod sales in 2007:

Roughly 52M

This equals pretty much 78% of the handheld music division.

That's pretty awesome.

 

Apple Iphone sales over last 12 months (since launch):

Roughly 5.5M

Nokia sold 440M in 2007. They say this is 40%. Also, the last 12 months should be fairly equal to 2007.

So Iphone has roughly 1-1.5% market share in the mobile phone market.

 

Mac sales:

7764K, or 7.76M in 2007.

The overall PC sales are roughly 266M for 2007

This means that Apple has roughly 2.9% market share.

 

Apple Itunes sales:

Itunes sold roughly 2B songs/movies in 2007.

 No idea about the market share.
