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."

    That a RECORD PLAYER is over a dozen places higher in the list than the top selling Zune.

  2. Zune not advertised as MS product? by WMD_88 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I've seen a lot of Zune ads. None of them mention Microsoft at all. Anywhere. I wonder if this is MS admitting that they have no mindshare. Or maybe the "cool" factor doesn't go with their corporate logo.
