My bad. Last I saw there was an increase in sales but this was a little while ago. Either way it is a better tablet than the Ipad however. I enjoy it immensely.
It's all good, not trying to get into some argument or anything. MS has had some really troubled product launches in the last several years however, in fact, they've hardly had any that weren't. The Xbox really has been their biggest consumer product to actually "catch on" outside of course of their up and down Windows sales (partly due to the desktop/laptop industry's questionable growth potential.)
And if you ask some of their big investors, they aren't too stoked on Xbox either. Overall for it's lifetime MS is still most likely (and reportedly from investors themselves) not profitable. They've lost too much money to have made it all back up during their few profitable years.
They aren't going anywhere as a company (largely due to products your average consumer never sees unless they work in an office environment) but it's not some anti-MS fanboy talk to claim MS has been late to the party and a dollar short on many consumer targeted industries in the last decade, it's how Microsoft is discussed in business and investment circles.
