vissha Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Now that Microsoft has officially released sales statistics for the fourth quarter of calendar year 2012, it’s pretty clear that Windows 8 had a lower impact on the overall Windows sales than any of its predecessors.According to CNN Money, Windows sales rose 76 percent after Windows 7 was officially introduced, while Windows Vista brought an increase of 65 percent.Windows 8, on the other hand, managed to boost Windows sales by 24 percent, Microsoft revealed earlier today.In terms of revenues, Microsoft recorded total Windows sales of $5.8 billion (€4.3 billion) after Windows 8 got to see daylight, while Windows Vista brought back only $5.3 billion (€3.9 billion). Windows 7 is the clear leader of this chart with a record $7.2 billion (€5.3 billion) posted in the first quarter on the market.Source: Softpedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marik Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 what these stats tell us is that people like it less than vista :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irefay Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Wow. This is surprising considering the huge flop that Vista was. Although I am margionaly surprised that Vista saw a 65% increase in sales. I think that may have more to do with the huge demand for something new after many years of XP.

Win8 just like baby's scattered picture book. Vista too got better UI than Win8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nIGHT Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 @Micro$oft: Just curious, :think: does this chart translates to better sales due to your "supposedly better OS" windows 8 product? Then why it fell behind the sales of Windows 7? :ganja: = :idea: = :hitit: = :shit: = Windows 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
