Comments from a very select few who don't reflect the mass market.
selnor, you are trying your best at hyping this device but 6 months from now no one here on VGC will be talking about it because it's declared dead by then with less than 5% marketshare.
|
Ofcourse this DEVICE will have less than 5% marketshare, but Windows 8 tablets AS A WHOLE will be huge, and Microsoft will probably overtake Android in the tablet market in the not-too-distant future. The Pro will be huge...
|
No, I mean all Windows Surface based tablets combined will have less than 5% marketshare in 2013.
|
I think Surface Pro will have someting to say about that. Basically the only tablet which can fully function with any business.
|
A few million Pro tablets might sell to businesses next year but that's still not enough to become relevant or earn more than a measly 5% when ipad and Android commands 45% respectively.
|
We will see in a years time. Apple and Android will not have that marketshare next year guaranteed. Hell like I said already Microsoft have more partners than Google for their OS on Tablets.
|
It doesn't mean anything that other vendors are making Surface powered tablets. Just look at Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8. The same could be argued there, all the big guys made (and are still making) Windows Phones. And yet it is dead.
Think of it this way. MS is launching two tablets, the RT and the Pro. They have invested heavily in both, in marketing and otherwise.
And we already know the RT has failed and failed big time. It's the new Zune. No one wants it. So why on earth do you think that the delayed one of the two devices will somehow magically become a success?`When the market is heading towads $300 and $400 tablets you believe the $800 tablet will have any chance?
