At the start of December Steven Ballmer said that Windows Phones were selling 4x faster than at the same point last year. Then, last week during Qualcomms CES keynote, Steven Ballmer said that Windows Phones were selling 5x faster in the run-up to Christmas than during the same period last year.
Now... last year in the 4th quarter Gartner estimated that 2.75m Windows Phone devices were sold. So if we use a 4.5x multiplier (which is a conservative multiple), then that means that at least 12,375,000 Windows Phones were sold in Q4 2012.
That's a pretty impressive figure which translates to roughly 1m devices sold per week. Anyway, earlier today I made a thread to find out how this would translate in terms of marketshare for the quarter, but I couldn't get any conclusive results.
Thoughts?
My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right
