Zune not doing zo bad

Reports of lackluster sales of Microsoft’s Zune that surfaced earlier this week might be a bit premature. Microsoft’s newest MP3 player, which launched just over two weeks ago, took second place in the portable digital player market in its first four days of sales, according to numbers generated by the market research firm NPD Group.

I assume the reason the iPod stayed in first place during the first week was due to fanbois wanting to make sure that Apple did not lose the top spot. I kid! Fair enough either way, but Microsoft is still likely pleased with the performance. It could be better, but when something launches that errors out during an install, it’s destined to not do so well.
