Net worth doesn’t mean companies don’t produce failed products. You must get your news from an Apple store.

The 2.3 million units sold is from several sources.
But, you could be right, Apple Watch sales are very much like the iPod, iPhone and iPad.
I am not sure how you can call the watch a failure....
With 2 million units pre sold at a cost of at least $350 each, you are looking at roughly $700,000,000 in revenue... in reality not everyone would have bought the cheapest option so so far they have netted over a BILLION dollars in revenue... so its hard to call the thing a flop... They have certainly more than made up all their R&D, Marketing and Production costs already.
So, even if the thing never sells another unit because those owners all decide it stinks, and no one else buys one, it can’t be considered a failure, at least fiscally.
Reality is, sales aren’t going to dry up... will it be a game changer? Who knows... but even if they never sell another one, they haven’t wound up in a worse financial position.
