Zune Reaches 2m Sales; Flat Versus iPod

Microsoft has revealed selling 2 million of it's Zune MP3 players since launching November 2006, revealing relatively flat growth. Although the company promised and slightly exceeded a target for it's first 1 million sales between launch and by June 2007, it has remained silent on the sales data for nearly a year.

Apple's iPod, in only it's latest quarter, sold 10.6 million players. These sales for one quarter are more than 5 times the cumulative sales of Zune since launch.

Critics have sometimes attributed Zune's lack of success to relatively slow development. Zune has typically obtained key features later than iPod.

More after the jump.
