Kindle Fire Cut Into iPad Sales, Analyst Says By John P. Mello Jr., PCWorld Jan 3, 2012 10:13 AM As many as two million fewer iPads were sold this holiday season because of Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet, according to one analyst. Selling at $199, compared to $499 for the lowest priced iPad, the Kindle Fire sold more than four million units during December alone. Overall, sales growth for the iPad during the holidays was off the mark, according to Morgan Keegan analyst Tavis McCourt. In a research note, he estimated that Apple sold 13 million iPads during the final quarter of the year, which bested its sales record for the device set in the previous quarter, 11.2 million, but fell short of McCourt's prediction of 16 million in holiday sales. Kindle Fire sales trimmed iPad sales during the holiday period by "at most" one to two million units, the analyst estimated, according to Forbes.
