Nobody expects Surface to outsell Ipad on it's own, not even Microsoft, but to be frank, it doesn't need to, if Microsoft can attain their 3-5M goal for the Q, well then they've just taken their revenue stream and added some 2 billion USD on top of that, and that's not even taking into account licensing fees from other companies making Win8 tabs.

...and it will easily acheve that i think.  Reports of pre-orders selling out rapidly.

It's Q2, I have no doubt that Microsoft will achieve those sales, heck I think the silliest part is that the Surface Pro isn't launching in the holiday season. Sure the Pro is more aimed at the business sector but I would have bought myself one for Christmas without doubt.
