New iPad Tops Three Million


CUPERTINO, California―March 19, 2012―Apple® today announced it has sold three million of its incredible new iPad®, since its launch on Friday, March 16. The new iPad features a stunning new Retina™ display, Apple’s new A5X chip with quad-core graphics, a 5 megapixel iSight® camera with advanced optics for capturing amazing photos and 1080p HD video, and still delivers the same all-day 10 hour battery life* while remaining amazingly thin and light. iPad Wi-Fi + 4G supports ultrafast 4G LTE networks in the US and Canada, and fast networks around the world including those based on HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA.**

“The new iPad is a blockbuster with three million sold―the strongest iPad launch yet,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “Customers are loving the incredible new features of iPad, including the stunning Retina display, and we can't wait to get it into the hands of even more customers around the world this Friday.”

... Consoles doomed?

Simple title edit would fix that.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GAMING!

Nice sales as to be expected.

A bigger audience to sell my future game to is always good!

Great news for gamers.

I can understand phones which people get with contracts but how/why do people replace tablets every year? I have a 2 and see no reason to buy a 3, web browsing works just fine without obvious jaggies or anything just because it's not in some insane res, the ppi of the screen is just fine as it is, and the resizing in safari works like a charm to make most sites readable. Books and the like are fine also. The well produced games are fine too, though I doubt the more intensive 3D stuff can even run at the new iPad's native res anyway. So, what gives? Or does that contract thing apply to tablets also with 3G and stuff? Either way, insane.

That's another 3 million copies of Angry Birds downloaded.

Great news for gamers.

Yep. Anyone who hates the new iPad hates true HD gaming.

Well, Angry Birds Space does come out in 2 days...

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

The insecurity of gamers when it comes to the iPad is hilarious.

... and this is from someone who has only ever owned an iPod Classic, before I get branded an Apple fanboi.

 

[Pyrokai]

I'll take buttons over true HD gaming when I game thx

Outsells Vita like 10:1...

 

[iamshadowlark]

I just don't understand it.

 

[SGRU]

It's the fastest-growing gaming machine, so I think this thread fits here.

Can someone make a Tim Cook 'it prints money' gif? Thanks in advance

 

[Mafro]

"first post nailed it!!!"

 

[Gueras]

For sure there is a lot of dumb people in the world...

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Welp, time to sell my 3DS and join the winning team.

 

[Eusis]

Yep. Anyone who hates the new iPad hates true HD gaming.

I'd rather get it to supplement games running in 320x240 actually. Load it up with manuals for old games sold on GoG!

[Deleted member 80556]

So, what's the killer app on this?

Better be Uncharted or better, not some fighter or something.

Except it isn't.

 

[Riposte]

Can this one run Uncharted or should I wait for iPad v 4?

 

[- J - D -]

In comparison, how many iPad 2 units sold in the same time?

 

[Nibel]

Another 3 million Facebook and Instagram devices sold

(Nah, impressive numbers Apple, as always! Congratulations!)

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

I don't hate the Ipad it's a great tool, but I would never get one for gaming, 'cause I love buttons.

 

[Surface of Me]

But did it beat Kinect?

 

[mxgt]

Can't we have a peaceful Apple thread for once?

Spoiler

except the official ios OT

 

[Wario64]

In comparison, how many iPad 2 units sold in the same time?

1 million

Still the same size as before.

[captmcblack]

my apple dividend is the most AAA of gaming killer apps

 

[Uno Venova]

Great device, not for gaming though, but it's something that can really cut down on your need for a computer.

Nope. Not when it's gaming "merits" can be debated.

 

[Zomba13]

I wonder how many people who bought that already own one (or both) of the previous versions.
