Microsoft said today that it expects around 1 million Zune player sales in the first six months of 2007. In comparison to Apple’s iPod, which sold 39 millions iPods in last 12 months, it is vary small figure. But, Bryan Lee, corporate VP for Microsoft’s Entertainment Group thinks, “We think that’s actually pretty awesome.” But he also said that he expects his company to be eventually a leader in it.

As of now, the Zune media player is only available in USA. Its sales figure are expected to go high as and when it goes international. But if we believe its initial sales numbers, it is not expected to be any blockbuster.
