From Quantworks, as its tagline says, "a creative and artistic vision of quantitative matter" on Asus Eee PC's explosive sales figures -




* Assume that shipments count for sales
* So that's 175,000 units per month, rounded up to 200,000 to make the math easier
* = 2,400,000 units over 12 months
* At $400/unit on average, annual sales is $960,000,000 alone for the Asus Eee PC, or nearly one billion dollars.

That is, indeed, quite a staggering number for what a product that is supposedly a niche item.
