"Microsoft Surface beating Apple iPad ? More units sold? What?

It never happened. Just never."

Two reasons it could have happenned:

- They chose the release month of the shiny shiny from MS, which is a a mid-cycle month for Apple.

So there is an "early adopter" bump in the MS figures and a normal replacement month for Apple.

- The normal replacement cycle for Apple devices is somewhat longer than for MS (no evidence presented or needed for this theory).
