What does it matter how Zune sales stack up against Apple? MS just has to worry about making it profitable.


One word:

Revenue.

Actually, profits are more important than revenue.

And if marketshare determined whether someone should stay in a market sector, Apple would have been out of the computer biz a long time ago.


Yes but let's imagine Zune stays at a fraction of Ipod's sales. That would mean it would remain an insignificant business segment in MS because it wouldn't matter if the profit margin was 30 or even 50% because the yearly profit number from Zune compared to the total MS $20billion yearly profits would be like a drop in the Red Sea.
