These second generation music players are Microsoft's answer to Apple's iPods, but the company still has a lot to prove in the eyes of the consumers. Its first generation players have not been well received by the market and only sold 1.2 million units as compared to the over 100 million units of the various models of iPods sold since its 2001 launch.
