Flurry Releases New Numbers on IPhone v. Droid v. Nexus One
By Chris Weiss
Back in January, Flurry provided a first week Nexus One sales number of 20,000. Not very impressive. Not very impressive at all. So how has the handset done since then? Not very impressive. Not very impressive at all.
According to new numbers from the analytics firm, the Nexus One sold 135,000 in its first 74 days. While 75 days or 90 days would seem like more fitting numbers to use for tracking, Flurry chose 74 because that’s how long it took the iPhone to sell one million units. The Nexus One isn’t even in the same city, let alone ballpark.
News isn’t all bad for Android, though. The fast-selling Motorola Droid actually topped the iPhone in its first 74 days, selling 1.05 million units. Flurry was as surprised as we were at this fact and recalculated several times to the same result. Then they used a number of theories to explain the phenomenon, which you can read here.
Bottom line: Google still wins.
