At Microsoft Surface is not doing very well

As we know, there are two known versions of Microsoft Surface tablet. While it is a solid device, the big problem I have is the price and the retail outlets, which until recently were somewhat scarce. Because of all this, the software giant's tablet is not doing very well when it comes to sales. Some analysts have said recently that the device is doomed and that their sales are really low in the opinion of some experts.

Walter Pritchard of Citigroup may be the most optimistic of all, because it suggests that the Surface has sold about 800,000 units so far. That's be optimistic? Well it is when compared to what was said by Heather Bellini of Goldman Sachs, who put the number of sales at only 230,000 units.

One thing is clear: the Surface has not been a successful tablet, or at least not as much as expected to be MS. What do you think Microsoft should change so that the device has an opportunity within this large and competitive market? Improve your hardware? Maybe or lower the price?
