I had a look at the Microsoft Surface blog over the weekend and noted this post:
You may have heard that the pre-order stock of the Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition, Type Cover 2 in Purple and Black, and Touch Cover 2 has sold out at Microsoft Stores in the U.S. It also looks like pre-order stock of the Surface 2 (64GB) and Surface Pro 2 (256 GB and 512GB) are close to selling out – also at Microsoft Stores. We’re pretty happy about this of course given we just unveiled Surface 2, Surface Pro 2 and the new accessories to the world only a week or so ago.
So according to Microsoft, The Surface 2 tablets are selling out. There’s just one problem. Microsoft has said that the original Surface tablet sold well, but then took almost a billion dollar charge on unsold Surface inventory. So, one has to wonder if this is history repeating itself or does it have a hit on it’s hands?
This will be interesting to watch to see which side of the fence this lands on.
