The size of Apple’s iPad Christmas “is a matter of considerable disagreement among analysts who track Apple,” Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune. “Having overshot Apple’s fourth quarter sales by as much as 2.3 million units, many are approaching the first fiscal quarter of 2011 with caution.”
“We polled 26 analysts — both professional and amateur — for their Q1 iPad unit sales estimates and got an unusually large range, from a low of 5 million units from Hudson Square’s Daniel Ernst to a high of 7.54 million from Goldman Sachs’ Bill Shope,” P.E.D. reports. “The average of all the estimates [is] 6.31 million.”
The full list of analysts, their estimates and the date they made them is here.
