Apple TV has sold over 250,000 units since its launch in September, despite the fact that it’s a revamped version of an existing Apple product, and didn’t come packing the app store that was rumoured and that lots of us were hoping for from Apple TV. The quarter of a million Apple TV units sold has been racked up in six weeks, and while it’s a long way off the 1.7m that the iPhone 4 sold in just three days, rumours about an Apple TV app store persist, and could push sales higher, should they come good.

Would you buy an Apple TV if an app store appeared?

Apple TV is selling well, and early estimates have it selling one million per quarter. Of course this is largely number crunching and speculation until we get any official figures from Apple, but Alex Gauna, the analyst who came up with the figure, said that the Apple TV is selling at a pace of one quarter to one third that of the iPad, and that the price point for the Apple TV is “resonating with consumers”.

Halo: Reach has pulled in $200m in European and American sales in the first 24 hours of its launch, according to Microsoft. That’s more than Halo 3 by a long shot, which pulled in $170m, but far less than Call of Duty 2: Modern Warfare, which earned $310m in North America and the UK in its first 24 hours.

Sales of the iPad are predicted to hit 28m in 2011. The analyst with the forecast, Maynard Um with UBS Investment Research, said that although the iPad wasn’t affecting Mac sales, it was impacting notebook PC sales. Um also said 28m iPad sales could be a “conservative” figure. In the first 80 days of being on sale the iPad sold three million units.

Typically evasive sales reporting from Amazon on the new Kindle today, as it states that “more next generation Kindles were ordered in the first four weeks of availability than in the same timeframe following any other Kindle launch, making the new Kindles the fastest-selling ever.” As per usual, there are no figures to support this, so we can’t stack it up next to the iPad or any other tablet or e-reader to see how the user base compares. Although Amazon are always secretive about specific figures, and have never given numbers on Kindle sales, it sets off a niggle – if the Kindle is selling so well, why doesn’t Amazon give Kindle figures? Even the obsessively secretive Apple do that.

Is the 3DS pushing DS sales down already? It certainly looks that way. Nintendo’s quarterly profits are out, for the months April to June this year, and it’s not great news for the company. A slip in DS sales has pushed profits down, and could be caused by anticipation around the launch of the 3DS.
