Nexus One sold 80,000 during its first month
A report from Flurry shows that the Google Nexus One sold only 80,000 units in its first month. We earlier reported that they sold 20,000 during the first week, so exactly one fourth of the whole months sales. Nexus One’s sales are quite bad if you compare them to the first months sales of the iPhone or the Droid. The Motorola Droid sold 525,000, and the first generation iPhone sold 600,000 during their first month.
One of the reasons for this, could be that the Nexus One isn’t carrier bound, and only sold by Google. Also, Google didn’t advertise the phone much. If you think back in time on the announcement/release of the first iPhone, you can maybe remember the crazy Apple hype that went on. It was almost like everyone was crazy about this phone. Same thing was done with the Motorola Droid. Crazy Ad campaigns and hype around the launch.
