No...Nokia sold 4.4m Lumias and 9.3m of their Asha smartphones. So 13.7m total








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

Woah, they're some pretty hefty adjustments. Samsung overtracked by 45m?

You right...
- Total smartphone volumes of 15.9 million units composed of 9.3 million Asha full touch smartphones, 4.4 million Lumia smartphones and 2.2 million Symbian smartphones.

pezus said: Wut, but didn't Man-bear say 13.7m? More adjustments to my numbers needed then. |
Man-bear is right... I forgot Asha... but the real number is 15.9 million so he was wrong too after all
.
PS. Now my source is the Nokia PR (look the previous post).
Right, okay, so here's what we know:
Nokia: 15.9m
Apple: ~50m








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

If I remember these Gartner and IDC numbers uses the official numbers released by companies... so they just make the maths to show the market share and others things but all numbers I read in the IDC Q3 2012 research was official numbers from Apple and Samsung at least (I didn't checked the other companies). |
Oh really? I was under the impression that Samsung does not release official unit numbers (revenue, yes). They stopped doing so in July 2011, and all smartphone estimates have been pure guesswork since then (think about that next time you see a press release about Samsung outselling Apple). The situation at least a few months ago has been very bleak for anyone desiring real information.

The analysts have to do more than that, since very few phone manufacturers are actually willing to reveal their shipments nowadays.

AFAIK, Gartner won't release their data until mid February:

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
