2 million? You do realize that that is NOTHING. Its a nice number to throw around, but as it stand right now its failure, and if it wont manage to penetrate in the US ( and judging by recent news from engadget they are not) it will fall hard. They believed that they are to big to fail, yet we see this every day. Again, nobody is bashing WP7 here, and I am the first opne to admit that its a good OS, but its not a popular one, and it wont be a popular one no matter how hard MS tries. Google and Apple has the smartphone OS segment cornered, and thats that.
W8 might bring something new, but lets be honest, while hundreds of devices get the latest android, there is almost NO buzz about it on the mobile devices front. There are some companies who throw in some experiments here and there, but Im not certain that it will work. All 3 major OSs are pretty damn good at this point, so its all about marketing, and in this case MS failed to trully get the manufacturers attention. And why enter this market, when Nokia will clearly steal the small thunder that there is left? |
I already kind fo replied to this but I will do it anyway. They sold 3-4 million since Novemebr 2011. Over 1 million last quarter and over 2 million this quarter. This is with 2 phones and limited markets.
Look up how much other (non iphone)individual smartphones sell that are released worldwide...this isn't low at all.
