33 million Macs over next five years?

by showme1946 Jun 12, 2006 7:28PM PDT

In the next five years (through 2010), cumulative PC sales will total about 1.3 billion units, according to a new report by Computer Industry Almanac. The market research firm notes this figure is nearly equivalent to the 1.4 billion units shipped during the first 30-years of the personal computer revolution (1975 - 2004).
According to the firm's estimate, Apple will sell 33 million computers over the next five years. Unfortunately, their estimates call for Dell, HP and Lenovo to combine for over 550 million during the same time period.

another variable to consider...

I can't quantify this definitively but it seems like Mac hardware seems to last longer than PCs and I don't mean hardware reliability. It seems to me counting the number of units sold may not be the most accurate method of calculating the marketshare since I think mac users tend to hold onto their hardware longer between upgrades than PCs. Of course if you start accumulating the number of units sold over time the mac marketshare will appear to be keep dropping even though the actual marketshare may be flat or maybe even rising. Any thoughts?
