Microsoft Makes Another "Nearly Sold Out" Claim For the Surface Line

[wraggster]

Microsoft made some confident sounding claims about sales of its first-generation Surface tablets before it became clear that the tablets weren't actually selling very well (http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/07/19/0122223/microsoft-is-sitting-on-six-million-unsold-surface-tablets). So make what you will of the company's claim that the second version is "close to selling out (http://www.highlightpress.com/surface-2-and-pro-2-close-to-selling-out-pull-the-other-one-microsoft/5672/tharper)." As the linked article points out, the company has "fallen short of offering any real explanation as to just how “close” to selling out the Surface 2 and Pro 2 really are – nor have they indicated how many were on hand to order in the first place."
