I find it border line hilarious that people are looking to MS to offer some form of consumer benefiting competition. Obviously they’re not really the best example of this (historically speaking).

The second they have a large enough market share, they’ll do something to try and lock down their position (if possible) and put everyone else out of business (if possible), and then start selling shitty products again.

You know, it wouldn’t be bad to have some competition. I mean, you never know. With more than one big player, someone might be willing to open up their media player platform more.

Well it’s one thing to be on top for the week of your release. But what I’m wondering is mostly how long it’ll stay that way. The iPod has been a No.1 seller for quiet sometimes, afaik.

EDIT: I totally agree with you Clams

Make a note that iPod was #2 and #3….which I’m sure equals more than the Zune sales.

Because they are broken down by type, not actual product, it looks like the Zune is #1 when it probably isn’t REALLY.

Competition is always good for consumers. Microsoft lowering prices for Zune is a good example for Apple to lower its prices for iPods but unfortunately, Apple rarely lowers prices.

I agree with Chad 100%…except for the Creative Zen…I have a Sansa with Best Buy Music Store (powered by Rhapsody). It’s great having all this low cost music. I don’t ever use CDs anymore, so not having to buy music and having access to tens or maybe hundreds of thousands of songs is great.

So far on Rhapsody I found almost all my favorite music, exceptions being, Seether, Evanessance, Metallica, and The Beatles

And since when did we make Amazon the official “numbers” for the sales? Yes, cool to see Amazon is selling more Zunes but that is just one store out of thousands that sell either device.

Just a few weeks ago they were $99, but I guess they raised the price because so many people were buying them…

…… people don’t buy iPods on Amazon… your average Joe buys theirs at Apple store in the Mall… or from Apple.com…. I have no fucking clue where to buy a Zune… I suppose best buy or target, this doesn’t surprise me so much.

Let’s track overall sales and see whats up ;)

Also… where are the Creative Zens?… damn shame they don’t have more market share, good little players.
