Microsoft Sells One Million Zunes

by Tim Stevens on July 24, 2007 at 10:38 AM

Microsoft Pushes 1 Million ZunesMicrosoft's Zune may not have received quite the same warm and loving reaction that Apple's iPod did, but if you ask Microsoft it's doing quite well on its own accord, thank you very much. The company has announced they not only met their goal of selling 1 million Zunes by the end of June, they actually exceeded it by 200,000.

The Zune has captured an impressive 11% of the larger capacity hard drive-based media player market, which includes the larger iPod models. But, when you look at the entire market of players, including flash-based players like the Shuffle, Zune commands a more modest 3%.

Of course, there's also the minor detail that Apple managed to sell more than 20 million iPod devices during the same period.
