Zune Sales Not So Bad After All

Posted by samzenpus on from the on-second-thought dept.

pyrbrand writes "Despite the iFanboy jabber that Zune sales were horrific, CNN has a story to the contrary. Turns out Zune was the #2 Digital Audio player in its first week of sales. Not a bad start for the challenger to the iPod throne. As others have pointed out the Amazon sales rank may have been thrown off by Zune sales being divided between the three colors."

    No one out there in the real world gives two shits for a player that "runs Linux". I'll repeat that, for emphasis: No one out there in the real world gives two shits for a player that "runs Linux".

    What are the different colours?

    Shit brown, fecal matter umber, diarrhea sepia?

    Nobody said the Zune outsold the iPod, Mr. Fanboy. What was your point again?

    Apple didn't fail in the 90's because they sold hardware and software, they failed because their products sucked and they didn't keep up with the pack. In fact, their "closed-technology stack" is probably what kept them alive long enough to get OS-X and the iPod out the door.

    Yes, the difference is that the taxes you pay for prisons and the court system are for your safety, not not to punish the taxpayer for crimes not committed.
