Third-party data reveals WP sales in the fourth quarter

Computer store news: Microsoft and Nokia did not announce the specific sales of WP in the Q4 financial report, so it is impossible to determine how Windows Phone performs in the end. Now let's take a peek at the sales of WP through the data of Google Trends and Adduplex.

Google Trends data shows that Lumia’s search volume peaked on December 25th, and then the momentum began to decline. This may again suggest that Lumia activation is indeed a record high in the Christmas season.

Adduplex's data shows that WP sales in the fourth quarter were higher than in the third quarter, and sales of WP in the Christmas season exceeded 10 million. This conclusion is based on the assumption that WP7 equipment sales are not much in 2013 and other logical assumptions, which should not be as reliable as those published by Microsoft or Nokia.

Adduplex's Alan also said that the fourth-quarter record high WP activation depends on WP's record high shipments in the third quarter. Because in the third quarter, there were a lot of equipment already in the sales channel, and it was sold in the fourth quarter.
