I found this on TechCrunch. Check it Out Guys! Cannot Believe 3 Million were sold already, seeing Apple's success, this should not be a surprise.
From
TechCrunch
Apple has
just announced
that the iPad mini and 4th generation iPad, both of which debuted on
October 23 in San Francisco, have just topped 3 million sales in 3 days.
The smaller, lighter tablet had been rumored for years, yet its
arrival was somewhat overshadowed by Hurricane Sandy devastating the
North East. And the 4th gen iPad came as a bit of a surprise, though it
was also rumored prior to launch.
On the November 2 launch date, a week after pre-orders began, lines weren’t
quite as long as they have been for other Apple products, despite having two new models on sale.
Still, Apple has managed to sell a whopping 3 million of both devices
in a very short period of time. For reference, Asus has said that the
company sells around
1 million Nexus 7 tablets per month.
At the same time, this isn’t exactly the level of opening day,
weekend, or week sales we usually see out of Apple. Apple’s 3rd
generation iPad, however, sold 3 million on its own during its opening
weekend last March, so this time around two separate device lines are
splitting the same number of sales. The iPhone 5 had 2 million
pre-orders in 24 hours, and sold 5 million in the first weekend.
Apple likely won’t break out sales by device type, but we’ll see if
analysts or supply chain information provides a better breakdown.
