lol, non-surface MS tablets sold 0.4M in Q3 and you want to assume they sell 1.5m in Q4? Not happening. Let's just stick with the 1.8% market share from Q3 for non-surface tablets and add the 4% from 1 million sold / 25M (Q3 Market total) and we can guess it has about 5.8% market share, which is a huge improvement from 1.8%, but I think they expected better.

More than likely the market increased in Q4 so I would guess 5% at the top end for MS share.

you could buy a windows8 tablet in Q3? 

sigh.

 

Q3 tablets sold for MS - 0.4M

How many new MS tablets for Q4 besides surface?

None.  MS only make one tablet.

Do you mean Windows8 tablets?

I have no fucking idea. Thats the point of most of this discussion. 

But Im sure Samsung, Asus, HP, Sony etc etc sold a few.

Yes I meant Windows 8. When I said MS I meant OS (Windows 8 and whatever the Niche tablets use from Q3), not manufacturer.

What we know is that the release of Windows 8 did not increase sales in PC or tablet market, so either Apple and Google lost market share to MS, or Windows 8 tablets aren't selling well. I think it's pretty clear which option is realistic.
