Microsoft Surface outselling Nexus 10, claims strategy analyst

Strategy analyst Benedict Evans (via Daring Fireball) has done some admittedly rough-and-ready number-crunching on Nexus sales based on Google development data to come up with a figure of just 680,000 Nexus 10 tablets in use – compared to 1.5m rumored Microsoft Surface sales.

If true, that’s rather painful for Samsung, especially when both figures are compared with the 36.9m iPads sold in the second half of 2012 alone.
