3M copies in 3 months is more than 10M in a year (if you assume sustained sales). I don't get what the numbers are supposed to imply.

- imchillyb 1y agoWindows 3.1: ~3 million in first six weeks, ~>3 million in first three months, ~25 million in first year. Windows 95: ~1 million in first 4 days, ~7 million in first five weeks, ~40 million in first year. These figures represent Microsoft’s own sales figures.
