Microsoft's mobile platform launched Monday. The question is, was it a success or a failure? One analyst is estimating 40,000 devices were sold day one. How does that rate?
We have become used to big launches, something Apple has been doing for the last few releases of the iPhone and the iPad launch earlier this year. Apple confirmed that it sold 1.7 million devices in the first three days after the iPhone 4 launched. Keep in mind that included a lot of pre-orders, but that is still an impressive number.
They also confirmed that when the iPad launched, over 300,000 units were sold the first day.
The Street has asserted that Microsoft has sold 40,000 units in the first day and managed to throw in an ad hominem about Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at the same time.
