"According to sources at parts manufacturers, sales figures for the Nexus 7 have officially shockedGoogle. Originally, El Goog thought 2.5 million units would be sufficient to get them through 2012, but to meet demand for the popular 7″ tablet, Google has placed an additional order of 2.5 million to keep the masses happy. Just weeks ago, we still didn’t have any word that the Nexus 7 was even selling well at all, but ASUS put our minds at ease when they slipped and said they are shipping nearly 1 million a month."
"Google has reportedly increased its cumulative shipment volume in 2012 to more than 5 million units."

So 5 million for 6 months including holiday season at a low price.
|
Yep, that's small picture though.
|
Wow! MSFT tablets are doing pretty badly. Apple isn't doing that well either, although they sold more bc the pie is just getting bigger.
|
you are hilariously uninformed.
|
Market share is all that I care about, because profitability slowly follows that.
|
No it doesn't. Google has 60% of the smartphone market and they've made fuck all profit
|
Yeah, but apple is losing marketshare and should lose some revenue as well. They've already lost a large amount of stock price, so if you think that revenue will be busting to astronomical highs then you're fooling yourself.
Google tablets on the other hand, push users into google search, its main cash cow. all they have to do is click on Chrome, and for most users they have google.com as their default page..... and bam! they get going. This isn't even charging google in the least so in terms of profits they should be a net positive, even though the results improved are technically in other parts of google

I really don't know why I am trying to argue with you, but:
1. Apple's stock price is due to rumors for slower sales of the iPhone 5 and not showing any new innovation that could really capture / create a huge market.
2. Andorid pushing users towards Google Search? That is just stupid. How many of the Android users (no matter if smartphone or tablet or both) have used Google Search before? A very conservative estimation would be 100%. Who the hell needed to be pushed towards a Google Search? Basically everyone on this planet who has access to it used it. Especially the ones using smartphones.
3. Wasn't there an article about MS making more money on Android than Google? *edit* Well, it is probably very close.
