I've objectively proven that its gotten off the ground and hasn't flopped.

Selling 85,000 units to deluded hipsters, does not stop it being a flop.
16.8 million LaserDisc players were sold worldwide, Betamax held a 25% market share in 1981, both were and are flops. Hell, millions of Zunes were sold, this does not effect the fact that I have never seen one in the flesh and they are a joke compared to the iPod.

Now stop sucking the cock of a dead man.

85k out of 85k, as fast as they can make them, is as fast as they sale. Doesn't matter what you think of the purchaser.
You've not seen one in the flesh because they're not in the UK yet and they're not on store shelves yet. Again, your personal perception is irrelivent; I don't like Tuna but that doesn't mean its shit.

LaserDisc and Betamax and had better rivel technologies and thats why they didn't survive. Not because "they were shit", it was because "there was something better out there".

reading comprehension dear boy.
85k is 85k if that's all they ever sell it's a flop, only time will tell if it is all they sell or if it goes on to be a massive (and unlikely) success.

I've not seen a Zune in the flesh, that's what that sentence was about, not go back and reread it properly.

my perception of the product is not coloured by the people who buy it, my perception of the people is coloured by the product. it's a silly product so people who buy it are silly, not silly people buy it so it's a silly product.

I never commented on the mechanism of the demise of the laserdisc, zune or betamax tape, I merely used them to show that you could sell more than 85k and still flop, but, if you want an example of something that died on it's arse, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_Wrist_PDA although I'll grant initial sales were not as fast as this.

The main fail for betamax was that the tape was not quite long enough to record a full basketball game
