Analysts weigh in on iPad 2 sales numbers

Brian March 28, 2011 1

Fortune has made a extensive list of analysts and what they predict is the amount of sales the iPad 2 has had so far. It’s rather expansive ranging from 5 million to almost 9 million units sold.

As most know, the iPad 2 began with strong sales which resulted in low supplies and high shipping times. Although shipping times have improved, the iPad 2 just launched in 25 more countries on March 25 and RadioShack plans on stocking it in 500 of its locations starting tomorrow. If Apple could have prepared for this demand, the sales for the iPad 2 would no doubt be enormous but it’s hard to predict the amount actually sold because of it.

Check out the list after the break and feel free to leave your 2 cents in the comments.

    Apple is clearly padding the sales figures for this quarter. They are booking orders as sales, and, because supply is limited thanks to events in Japan constraining available components, they are pushing what product they do have through third parties like Radio Shack, so they can book that channel stuffing as sales.

    Funny how the online orders have a delivery time of 3-4 weeks, so that pushes the delivery into next quarter, so if it needs to be cancelled through ongoing component shortages, it comes out of next quarter’s figures, not this one.
