I think, if MS released an Xbox tablet like the Nvidia Shield Gaming tablet, there would be more people buying Windows tablet now.

I agree the predictors will be wrong because people are buying tablets from Amazon which now has a $50 7 inch Fire tablets with a MicroSD card, and good performance for running most games, and apps. There also are a lot of cheaper $20-30 Android tablets from companies like RCA, and Proscan which have a lot of buyers because of their low price.

I remember at one time predictors predicted in an article that Windows Phone would be the most used Phone Operating System, but now Windows Phone is very unpopular with most users because of having not enough quality apps, and a boxy unfamiliar user interface instead of regular shortcut icons.
