We have just started 2012, but Microsoft could end it with some 43 million terminals running Windows Phone on the horizon of ecosystems for smartphones . These are data from the consulting firm Morgan Stanley, which has established a predictive analysis on the behavior of the Redmond- based multinational regarding this product, which will have a fundamental ally in the Finnish Nokia to boost its presence.
In fact, the vast majority of mobiles that are sold this year and that work with Windows Phone system will be sealed by Nokia. Again, we refer to data from Morgan Stanley. According to this analysis office, the Espoo firm will have manufactured 37 of the 43 million mobiles with the Microsoft ecosystem that will swarm the world in 2012. That represents no less than 86 percent of all Windows Phone mobile sales that, according to the aforementioned consultancy, will have been sold throughout the year.
However, Morgan Stanley's analysis shows a piece of information that makes us doubt about these estimates. And it is that the remaining 14 percent of mobiles manufactured to work with Windows Phone would be marketed exclusively by the Taiwanese HTC. In total, this company would be responsible for the sale of the remaining six million mobile phones with the Microsoft platform. And that sounds, to say the least, strange.
We say this because although HTC has an interesting portfolio of terminals based on this system -the HTC Titan II has recently been presented for the North American market-, there are many other manufacturers dedicated to Windows Phone, such as Asus, Fujitsu or Samsung -and precisely the latter is at the forefront in mobile sales, vying for number one with the Finnish Nokia -.
It should be remembered that over the past year, various estimates by JP Morgan or IDC valued the future of Windows Phone in very positive terms. So much so that by 2015 they placed Microsoft's platform as the second mobile ecosystem in the world, surpassed only by Android and ahead of Apple's iOS.
