I don't think I am desperate when I come with hard facts and predictions grounded in reason.
5% or slightly above in marketshare in 2013 will still be seen as a failure for Windows tablets. Only 1/10th of Apple.

But without being horrible your predictions arent grounded in reason.
Why?
Microsoft have never made an attempt in te tablet market where your figures come from. They actually mean nothing concerning what is about to play out.
This is the first time Microsoft has made Windows into a full fledged Tablet OS. And the first time Microsfot have made there own hardware where there flagship OS is pushed.
On top of that Surface RT was sold out before it went on sale.

The table I posted with current tablet marketshares was for reference only, mainly to give perspective to the rumour of 3-5 million Surface devices being shipped in the first quarter. I simply wanted to show the size of the total tablet market to give it context.
Yes, Surface RT was sold out - out of a very limited initial batch. If the pre-order shipment was only say 20,000 to North America we shouldn't be impressed that it was sold out - we should be worried why MS supply constrained them on purpose.

Your doing what everyone here at VGC does.
Oh Halo sales are overtracked. 360 sales are duplicates. Microsoft must have constrained sales. Its really bad what this portrays as fact.
Im gonna laugh my arse off when te marketsare of Windows 8/Android/IOS is released in Q3.

But please don't dismiss me like that. It was you who came with your 5 million already sold and I debunked it. 3-5 million Windows Tablets are rumoured to ship in the whole Q. What has sold so far we do not know, but it could be a relly small number to boost pre-release hype.
BTW, you mean Q4, right? Because Q3 has passed already.
