Apple's iPad Pro outsold Microsoft's entire Surface lineup over the holidays
I'm not saying that the surface is wildely successful, but we have absolutely nothing to show for iPad Pro numbers. The reason we can't produce estimate's is because we don't know the total revenue of the product. The IDC has also been known to be shaky in terms of numbers, so I'd take this with a grain of salt.bkkcanuck said:
The simple fact is that it would not take much to beat the entire Surface line. Microsoft had $1.3 billion in revenue from the ENTIRE surface line, and unlike Apple that is recorded from everything that is manufactured and out the door - regardless of whether they were actually bought. That number includes both Surface products and attachments. If you simply estimate the blended average price for one device, you will only get at most between 1 and 2 million units. As far as it being only an estimate - they are based on real numbers and extrapolated out based on statistics... which is why it is an estimate... But then most numbers before Apple reports are estimates and they are usually pretty close to the mark (+/- 10%) -- probably because they are based in part on real numbers.super6646 said:This was an ESTIMATE from the IDC. There's nothing to back it up, and considering Apple didn't announce sales of the product, we probably will never know!
