Microsoft Corporation (MSFT): Is The Surface Tablet a Dud?
From an advertising standpoint, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has made quite a splash with its Surface tablet (check out its latest TV spot here), but a recent note from FBR Capital Markets analyst Craig Berger suggests that sales have been “disappointing” this quarter.
Originally reported by Adrian Kingsley-Hughes of ZDNet, Berger shares with clients that demand for the Surface has “underwhelmed expectations,” which were quite low to begin with. In the article, Kingley-Hughes discusses that “Microsoft was only expecting to shift between 3-5 million Surface tablets this quarter in the first place,” which pale in comparison to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), which “sold three million iPads in the first weekend alone following the release of the iPad mini and the iPad 4.”
