Its going to be a success. The people that said this would be a huge flop couldn't have been more wrong. Imagine how well all the Windows 8 tablets combined are going to do in general this holidays and during 2013. |
I still believe it's going to be a huge flop.
I know it's hard, but what would you consider a success? 5% of marketshare in the first year? 10%? 20%?
I believe less than 5% first year marketshare for all Windows tablets and at the end of 2013 there will be no signifcant growth of that marketshare and analysists will have declared it as a flop and MS will have lost money on this expensive adventure.

You are funny but your place shouldnt be in a videogames forum...
HAHAHA

Is that all your argument? I mean you didnt write in this thread nothing, except LOL, ROFL and everything inbetween that makes absolutly no sense. Do you have... uhm... metal issues?
Its a nice line, but im with Slime on this one. MS will be kicked out HARD from the tablet business. The device is waaay to expensive, barely has any apps, and it just does not have the "coolness" of an apple product. Wait for the iPad 4 and Mini, and the Surface will be forgotten by december

and windows 8 tabs in general?
|
Of course more manufacurers=more sales, but I doubt that even in general they will make any dent in Apples dominance. I mean Windows is to much for a tablet IMO. Thats why the iOS is so popular and to some small extent Android-based tabs. It might gather some starting momentum, and maybe even sell decent numbers this holiday season, but as a whole Im not seeing it doing any real damage.
When it comes to tablets I doubt that Windos 8 based tablets will ever go even near 10% market share, and for a couple of years that percentage will be non-profitable number wise. This is one race where MS came way to late with way to little, and lets hope for their sake, that the PC market wont transform entirely into a touchbased one, because then they might have some issues in the longrun.

I am staggered at the lack of joined up thinking on this by some people in this thread. The enterprise take up alone will drive sales elsewhere.
Do people not realise how utterly dominant MS is in the enterprise sector?
|
True. But at the moment its not the enterprise sector that is driving the tablet market, and it wont for some time. The thing is that the enterprise market itself is changing, and Apple could easily fit the bill with its tablets, IF it makes a few key modifications. The issue is that the enterprise sector does not NEED a tablet right now. For the same price you can buy a far more usefull ultrabook.
The real battle is for the media consumer, and thats a battle that MS will loose in the tablet war. Again, this is just my opinion, and my take on the tablet war, nobody should take it personally. I have nothing to gain or loose from this, maybe I will buy a cheap one couple of years down the road.
PS: can we report people for acting like idiots? Is that a bannable offense?
