It seems long gone are the days when reports of bad sales data and exorbitant costs for Microsoft they happened when we talked about their tablets Surface: the latest data that we had already pointed to the fact that the range was finally beginning to take off and those offered last night by those from Redmond have confirmed it, with a revenue figure that has finally exceeded the barrier of 1.000 million.
Revenue generated by Surface is up 24%
Despite the fact that the second generation of tablets Surface It has already left a great impression on us, the truth is that it seems that it will correspond to the Surface Pro 3 the honor of going down in history as the model that managed to reverse the rather negative trajectory that the range had been following since its inception, when it seemed impossible that Microsoft managed to gain a foothold in the sector despite the huge investment it made.
The reality is that Windows' market share in the tablet market is still small, but at least Microsoft he would be finally getting a profit since his Surface Pro 3 went on sale: already in October made public an income of 900 million and now, for the last quarter, it has communicated that they have exceeded the 1100 million, which represents a growth in 24%.
The Lumia range also achieves all-time highs
Data is not just good for your line of tablets, but also for your newly acquired line of smartphones. The figures for the Lumia range were already quite good in the previous quarter, with 9,3 million of units sold, but also in this section 2014 has ended on the rise for those of Redmond, with 10,5 million, showing a more moderate growth (a 13%) than with tablets, but still significant.
