Microsoft?refuses to answer that question. Don’t expect it to be high. According to Strategy Analytics, an independent research firm, they sold around 3 million Window Tablets. But that’s not a good number. Not by a long shot.
If these numbers are true, then they own less than eight percent of the tablet market, compared to 48% of Apple and 43% of Android. The only good thing Window tablets did was chip into the ‘others’ category; that’s down from 2.7% to one percent. This report claims market confusion, limited distribution and app shortages are the culprits of Microsoft’s woeful tablet sales. I guess it’s better than where at Q4 12: zero percent!
What’s to make of these numbers? I guess some would?say it’s a good start for Microsoft’s tablets. But I respectfully disagree. If this is such a good sign, why didn’t?Microsoft come out with these?numbers? If it had better apps and organization, then Window tablet’s numbers would be higher. I?just know they better get their act together. The same report said ?over 40 million tablets were sold between January-March 2013. That number was less than 19 million in Q4 2012. So we’re talking double within a matter of months. So is this 7.5% number good for Windows tablet? Can Microsoft compete in the ever increasing tablet market?
