Zune Sales Continue to Weaken

Posted by Hemos on from the slip-sliding-away dept.

Dak RIT writes "Market share data for the first month of Microsoft's Zune sales is now available, and appears to confirm that after the initial hype, sales have fallen off dramatically. Microsoft came in fourth for sales during the month of November with only 1.9% of the market. Apple remained unchanged at 62.2%, and SanDisk even managed to increase to 18.4% (looks like the Zune might not even be able to compete with the rest of the market, let alone the iPod). The one surprise though is that the brown Zune is apparently not only being bought, but more popular than the white model."

    This is why I bought a Sansa. I really don't want to be locked into a format.

    On a bit of offtopica.....seems to be some good music coming out of Oz these days!! A few months ago, I discovered Wolfmother...man, nice to see some good old fashioned rock coming out again!!

    Got the recommendation from an emailing list that lives there...also found the John Butler Trio.

    Really good stuff.

    Do you have any other recommandations in this vein from down under?
