A Million Zunes Sold

According to Robbie Bach, Microsoft's president of the Entertainment and Devices Division, Zune has already met the goal of 1.000.000 players sold, set at launch for the end of June. He also confirms that new Zune things will come in this fall, talks (not) about the Zune Phone, the new Watermelon Red Zune, the Zune Marketplace and of course Xbox 360.

Great to hear everyone's personal experiences

I hate to interrupt this lovely Zune hate-fest (since it became cool to hate on it for no apparent reason) but since when have people considered their own personal experience when dealing with a product to somehow scale up to the reality of it? Every second post says, "I have never seen anyone with them!" Well, of course not, look at what site you're on! It is practically a religion to hate on Microsoft here. I reckon the Zune's market is people who think the iPod is too cool so they buy the Microsoft alternative. Do you think it is surprising that there are Zune booths inside of GameStop?

And I write this as an iPod user. It is my job to make fun of your groupthink, so carry on.

How is this insightful?

This is one anonymous jackass on the internet accusing an accountable corporation of fiddling with (unimportant) numbers because HE hasn't seen one. Well news for you friend, with million owned in a global potential market of around 1 billion, you aren't likely to see a lot. This is trollish

Oh wait, this is Slashdot and you're bashing Microsoft. That does pass for insightful around here these days...
