Manufacturer spills beans on Google Nexus 7 sales

Manufacturer spills beans on Google Nexus 7 sales:

Google has remained suspiciously quiet on the matter of sales numbers for its Nexus 7 tablet, especially given the positive critical reaction. Asustek has finally broken the silence on the subject to the Wall Street Journal: sales have been tracking up since launch and are now approaching a million units per month.
Asustek CFO David Chang told the WSJ that the company was selling—not just shipping—500,000 units a month initially, when the Nexus 7 launched in July. Figures bumped up to 600,000-700,000 in the following months, and in "this latest month," Google and Asus have sold close to one million units, said Chang.
This means the Nexus 7 is on track to be the most popular Android tablet ever. If we count the original Kindle Fire as a tablet (which we are loath to do), it's the Nexus 7's closest sales competitor in recent history, with an estimated 3 million or so sold last December alone.
